Industry City reps make final push for expansion, but critics remain skeptical
SUNSET PARK — Industry City CEO Andrew Kimball made one final push on Monday night to convince Community Board 7 to vote yes on a rezoning application that has divided many in the Sunset Park community.
At a three-hour public hearing hosted by the board, Kimball, along with hundreds of attendees, articulated why they think the industrial complex’s expansion plan should be approved or not.
With the deadline looming for the board to make a formal recommendation about the project, Kimball reiterated his intent to modify the plan with concessions, as well as to engage in a community benefits agreement, saying a “rezoning with concessions and a CBA results in greater benefits for the community than as-of-right-development.”DAILY TOP BROOKLYN NEWSNews for those who live, work and play in Brooklyn and beyond
