"RED HOOK — Plans for the city-owned 122-acre Brooklyn Marine Terminal site in Red Hook and the Columbia Street Waterfront District are barreling ahead with little community input in a process rapidly losing public trust, according to a panel assembled Thursday night by The City Club of New York, a not-for-profit that promotes good governance and thoughtful land-use policy.
On the panel were moderator David Burney, professor at Pratt Institute School of Architecture; James DeFilippis professor at EJB School of Planning & Public Policy, Rutgers University; Carly Baker-Rice, executive director of the Red Hook Business Alliance; and Deborah Gans, professor at Pratt Institute School. Overseeing the event was Layla Law-Gisiko, president of The City Club.
The project encompasses the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal at Piers 12 and 11, the Red Hook Container Terminal, the nonfunctional Piers 9a and 9b, and the still-functioning Piers 7 and 8, in use by the Customs and Excise Department...."
