CB2 Committee approves Pier 6 Tower Plan on Brooklyn Bridge Park
Recommends More Low-Income Housing
Members of the Community Board 2 Parks and Recreation Committee on Monday voted 6 to 1 to approve the proposed modifications of the General Project Plan (GPP) that would allow affordable housing in/on the Pier 6 development.
They also recommended that more low-income housing be included in the affordable housing plan.
The decision was made upon hearing the proposed changes to the GPP, as explained by David Lowin, vice president for real estate at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation.
The bigger issue of the evening, however, was the nuanced details in the amended statement in the GPP that had everyone debating whether to vote for or against the modified plan.
