The vote on the Vision Plan for the 122-acre Brooklyn Marine Terminal has been postponed for a third time as discussions for additional resources progress. Despite some support for aspects of the proposal, there is significant opposition from many Task Force members, citing a rushed planning process lacking transparency and community input. Critics emphasize the plan prioritizes real estate development over traditional maritime uses, and express concerns over inadequate transportation planning for expected new residents, with the plan aiming to introduce 6,000 housing units.
They [postponed] it because they recognize they don't have the support... a few more weeks is not enough time to meaningfully alter a plan that insists on misunderstanding the opportunity in front of us.
The planning process has been slammed as rushed, lacking transparency and genuine community input, and designed to heavily favor real estate development over the site's original maritime uses.
