Sunset Park leaders furious over mayor’s refusal to meet over Industry City
SUNSET PARK — Sunset Park leaders are up in arms over the mayor’s refusal to meet with them to discuss the city’s neighborhood investments in light of the Industry City rezoning process.
The refusal raises significant questions about the rezoning’s future, as Menchaca has declared it would only go through if the de Blasio administration agreed to specific investments in Sunset Park. Without that commitment, the councilmember will either have to scrap the plan — or reconsider his ultimatum.
In a joint statement released Monday, Councilmember Carlos Menchaca and Community Board 7 Chair Cesar Zuñiga called Mayor Bill de Blasio’s snub “offensive” and a “slap in the face.”DAILY TOP BROOKLYN NEWSNews for those who live, work and play in Brooklyn and beyond
