Red Hook Waterfront Redevelopment Plan

planned

The City’s Economic Development Corporation (EDC) has released a plan to redevelop Brooklyn’s Red Hook waterfront with majority market-rate housing while stabilizing the limited port facilities. The plan aims to create new upscale private housing on the waterfront and encourage limited waterfront commercial development, but has faced skepticism and opposition from residents and officials due to concerns about displacement, economic and racial inequalities, and lack of community engagement.
