CARROLL GARDENS/RED HOOK — THE NEW YORK CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION has scheduled two in-person information sessions this week to review the 25 maritime-based proposals EDC received as a result of its September 2025 “Request for Expressions of Interest.” The RFEI was meant to solicit ideas for how the 122-acre Brooklyn Marine Terminal could be utilized for maritime/industrial uses.
A BMT Vision Plan favored by EDC involves devoting more than half of the industrial acreage to residential development. Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso had agreed to vote for the EDC’s plan last year on the condition that EDC issue the RFEI seeking more maritime ideas, which will be presented at these sessions. The deadline to comment on the BMT plan is May 8.
The first session takes place Monday from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at Sacred Hearts Saint Stephens Church, 125 Summit St. in Carroll Gardens. The second takes place on Wednesday from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at Micco Community Center, 110 W. 9th St., Red Hook.
