    The vote on a contentious plan to redevelop the 12 The vote on a contentious plan to redevelop the 122-acre Brooklyn Marine Terminal, which had been scheduled for Thursday, has been postponed — for a fourth time — to July 24. The city is proposing a modernized port and a mixed-used development with thousands of new homes. Critics say the planning process is designed to favor real estate development over the site’s maritime uses, and is being rushed through before comprehensive traffic and infrastructure studies have been carried out. Backers say abandoning the process now would delay port modernization and the construction of much-needed affordable housing. 🔗 Read more at the link in bio.
