ESD meeting Monday to consider affordable housing at Brooklyn Bridge Park
BBP seeks changes to General Park Plan
A public board meeting will be held at the Empire State Development Corp. (ESD) on Monday, June 22, at 3 p.m. to consider changes to Brooklyn Bridge Park’s General Park Plan (GPP).
The park hopes to change the GPP to allow affordable housing in two high-rise towers planned for Pier 6, and possibly increase the number of residential units in Parcel B, the shorter tower.
The meeting is a result of a recent settlement between Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation (BBPC) and People for Green Space Foundation, a neighborhood group fighting two high-rise towers planned for Pier 6.
