Battle brewing over plan to expand Industry City
A local politician is threatening to quash Industry City’s plans to expand a retail and entertainment destination along the Sunset Park waterfront if its backers don’t slow down on a process that’s nearly five years in the making.
Councilmember Carlos Menchaca and Community Board 7 Chair Cesar Zuniga issued the warning to Industry City CEO Andrew Kimball in a joint letter on March 6, demanding that Industry City delay a request to rezone in order to allow the community time to provide input.
“If Industry City does not delay the application, and continue to follow the Sunset Park community’s lead, then this application is dead on arrival,” Menchaca told The Brooklyn Eagle.
