ICYMI: Rep. Dan Goldman’s Op-Ed in the Daily News: Brooklyn Marine Terminal Reborn – After Years of Decay it’s Time for a Revived Port and Housing

New York, NY – Yesterday, the New York Daily News published an op-ed from Rep. Dan Goldman (NY-10) on his support for the draft master plan for the Brooklyn Marine Terminal that has been developed by the City, the New York City Economic Development Corporation, and the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Task Force. Text of the op-ed is available online here and below:  

 

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.
