A significant redevelopment plan for Brooklyn's waterfront, proposing 6,000 housing units and $200 million investment in public housing, faces scrutiny. The Economic Development Corporation aims to expedite the project by seeking to bypass normal community review processes, which has led to resistance from local task force members. Many see this as an aggressive push from the EDC, while advocates claim this development is crucial for New York City's future, particularly in enhancing the local maritime network.
"The Vision Plan for the Brooklyn Marine Terminal lays out a historic, transformative investment in New York City's economic future," said EDC President Andrew Kimball.
Task force members call it an end-around to speed through a major project, as EDC seeks to bypass the traditional community review process.
