Menchaca urges community unity to prevent ‘capitalistic animals’ from taking over Industry City
City Councilmember Carlos Menchaca evoked the specter of corporate giant Amazon moving into Industry City and called on Sunset Park residents to unite behind a Community Benefits Agreement with the complex’s owners in order to keep the company out.
“Essentially, Amazon can come in and take over the entire complex right now. That’s scary. We fought that in Queens and that can happen now, with the correct zoning,” the councilmember said at a Community Board 7 meeting on Wednesday night.
“Wouldn’t it be great for us to consider a CBA that would figure out a way to remove their ability to bring Amazon?”
