Schumer secures $25M for wind technology hub at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal
On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Majority Leader Charles Schumer secured a $25 million federal grant to facilitate offshore wind development at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal 35th Street Pier Expansion Project.
The announcement was made at the terminal, along with U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Elizabeth Yeampierre, executive director of UPROSE, a Sunset Park-based grassroots community-based organization working on climate change.
The funds were awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration Port Infrastructure Development Grant program.
