Dearest everyone, We have the happiest news on OUR Save Pier 6! "...the board of the Empire State Development Corporation, which has authority over Brooklyn Bridge Park, has put a freeze on plans to build two high rise residential buildings on the Pier 6 uplands in Brooklyn Bridge Park “following objections from local elected officials and community groups to any [new] housing in the park.” " Please see our below letter ... to the BBP Corp's Board of Directors and all the glorious details on our website including the experts reports www.savepier6.org PFGSF, BHA and BBPDF February 22, 2016 Letter to Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation Board Dear Board Members: We are pleased to enclose for your review and consideration three new reports that bear on the question of whether any new residential development is needed on Pier 6 at Brooklyn Bridge Park (“Park”). Two of the enclosed reports address the Park’s financial circumstances, and one discusses the technical and economic aspects of the new “preventative” maintenance plan recently announced by management of Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation (“BBPC”). As you will see, the enclosed reports raise serious questions about the reasonableness of BBPC’s financial model and the appropriateness of its newly-proposed maintenance program. Taken together, these reports cast significant doubt on whether any development at Pier 6 is necessary for BBPC to achieve its financial objectives.... https://twitter.com/SavePier6
