"We’re so excited to take this next step in the transformation of the North Brooklyn waterfront here at Bushwick Inlet Park. Instead of an abandoned warehouse, New Yorkers will be able to enjoy a beautiful, accessible greenspace where they can take in the city skyline, connect with the diverse nature that surrounds us, and build community with their neighbors," said Mary Salig, Director of North Brooklyn Parks, NYC Parks Department.
"Once the state's Department of Environmental Conservation gives the go-ahead, that parcel of land can start its transformation into a park space." This highlights the expected timeline for environmental remediation before the park can be fully developed.
"Building demolition is expected to wrap up at the end of this year and in true Greenpoint/Williamsburg fashion, the site necessitates environmental remediation (thank you, ExxonMobil!)." This statement emphasizes the challenges faced during the redevelopment.
"As part of the Bloomberg administration's 2005 Greenpoint/Williamsburg rezoning, locals were entitled to several new parks, one being Bushwick Inlet Park." This underlines the community benefits stemming from earlier city planning.
