Grimm Hails New Agreement To Save Red Hook Terminal
Bay Ridge — U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm hailed an agreement reached last week between the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection that will allow inspections of cargo from ships arriving in the U.S. to continue at the Red Hook Container Terminal.
“I think this is a win-win for our community,” Grimm said.
Bay Ridge, which Grimm represents, and Red Hook are not neighboring communities. But the developments surrounding the Red Hook Container Terminal and the possibility of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection ceasing its inspections of overseas cargo there could have impacted Bay Ridge, the congressman said.
