Final OK on Pier 6 plan expected Tuesday
City Finance Department says claims of $800 million surplus inaccurate
Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation (BBPC) is set to OK on Tuesday a recently revised plan to develop two residential towers in the park at Pier 6. The vote is scheduled to take place at 9 a.m. in NYU Dibner Pfizer Auditorium at 5 MetroTech Center.
At press time on the eve of the meeting and vote, there were still irreconcilable differences between a coalition fighting the Pier 6 development and BBPC and its supporters.
City Comptroller Scott Stringer released a last-minute letter to BBPC on Monday expressing his concern with the Pier 6 project and urging that the park board delay the vote and sit down with the community to negotiate. Failing to do so, he said, “will result in greater delays and animosity.”
