Brooklyn Bridge Park advisory group calls on park to rescind vote approving Pier 6 towers
Asserting that newly disclosed figures showed that Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation (BBPC) has drastically underestimated the amount of projected income from developments in the park, the park’s Community Advisory Council passed a resolution Thursday night calling upon the BBPC board to rescind its June 7 vote to approve two additional residential towers to be located on Pier 6.
As part of its resolution, the CAC asked the park “to review the full, accurate financial information with the CAC in order to come to a united determination as to any need for housing on this pier whatsoever.”
The updated figures were released by the park as part of a lawsuit filed by the Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA) opposing the Pier 6 development. The CAC says it asked for this financial model two years ago but never received it.
