"The ambitious $3.5 billion vision plan, led by the New York City Economic Development Corp., calls for a 60-acre modern all-electric port, 6,000 homes, 28 acres of new open space, more than 275,000 square feet of industrial space, resiliency measures, and dedicated areas for workforce, community and culture. The plan also projects more than $18 billion in economic impact, creating 37,000 construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs across maritime, industrial, commercial and residential sectors."
""To be clear, the fight for the harbor of the future is far from over. There are many decisions we will need to make, reports we will need to scrutinize, and details we will need to comb through," Reynoso said. "A port-first plan can solve for many of the concerns raised throughout this process. It can activate our Blue Highways - keeping trucks off the streets and our air clean - while creating well-payin"
A 28-member task force voted 20-8 to redevelop 122 acres at the Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a mixed-use waterfront led by NYCEDC. The $3.5 billion plan includes a 60-acre all-electric port, 6,000 homes, 28 acres of open space, over 275,000 square feet of industrial space, resiliency measures, and dedicated workforce, community and cultural areas. Projected impacts include more than $18 billion in economic activity, about 37,000 construction jobs and roughly 2,000 permanent jobs. The vote provoked protests over process transparency and political flips by key local officials; the plan still faces further reviews and oversight.
