As New York looks to its future, it must grapple with a dramatically rising cost of living, critical resilience needs for the escalating threat of climate change, crippling congestion in last-mile communities, and the need for innovative economic and workforce development to provide more jobs to communities around the city that are getting left behind.
At the 122-acre Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Red Hook, the city, state and federal government are nearing completion of a planning process that presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to address all of the above.
For the past eight months, a partnership among the city, the state, and 28 Task Force members made up of elected officials, community based organizations, regional planning experts, and local residents has been busy.
