Plans to revamp the Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Red Hook have faced scrutiny from a local task force, resulting in a postponed critical vote. New state funding aims to support the redevelopment of the terminal while addressing housing needs with the addition of 6,000 apartment units, 40% of which are affordable. Despite this progress, critics are concerned about transportation issues and the potential for luxury development. State Senator Andrew Gounardes urged caution, suggesting the need for clear implications of the funding before proceeding.
"With the recent development of additional state funding for the BMT project, and at the request of Task Force Leadership, the vote on the Vision Plan is postponed until mid-July."
"Late last night, state officials notified me that they plan to commit funding to re-imagine and modernize the Brooklyn Marine Terminal, an important win for which I and fellow Task Force members have been fighting for months."
