Gowanus Plan

"Building a real recovery for our city requires forward-thinking investments that prioritize equitable growth, particularly in affluent neighborhoods that have not historically been asked to provide their fair share of New York City’s growth.

It will create thousands of units of affordable housing, new open space, critical investments in schools and transit, and much more."

— Eric Adams
