UPROSE fights back against Industry City rezoning plan
“We will not be moved.”
That was the message of a protest outside of Industry City on Friday, March 15 as non-profit UPROSE led the charge against a rezoning proposal which would expand the waterfront’s usable space while also building up in terms of hotels and retail.
Residents, local businesses, community groups and members of a coalition called POWWA (which stands for Protect Our Working Waterfront Alliance) gathered at the corner of 36th Street and Fourth Avenue before marching to Industry City to voice their concern for what an expansion of the entity would bring to the community.
