Look west, Brooklyn: Just a short kayak paddle from Brooklyn Bridge Park, a new global hub for the arts, technology and education is set to rise.
The public review process for a rezoning of the southern half of Governors Island kicked off on Aug. 24. The plan is to open the island, up till now mostly a warm-weather park and weekend events location, to a year-round destination, with 4.5 million square feet of commercial, academic, cultural and institutional development.
A public hearing will be held on Sept. 26, at 6 p.m. at the Battery Maritime Building located at 10 South St. in Lower Manhattan.
