Julie Holstein’s WARD 6 newsletter gives an excellent summary of the September 17 BMTDC Board of Directors meeting. As noted last week, CSWA Vice President John Leyva posted on Instagram about EDC’s revelation during that meeting that they are considering moving the future cold storage facility originally promised by Governor Kathy Hochul and its funding from Red Hook to Hunts Point. Removing cold storage from BMT, as John writes, CHANGES EVERYTHING. Read John’s post here.
The BMT Advisory Task Force Meeting on Thursday, September 24, featured ATF members raising critical questions, and not receiving satisfactory answers from EDC or its consultants. John Leyva’s post captures highlights from the meeting everyone needs to see. Come to the BMT Community Forum on Monday to hear a different vision for the BMT and real answers to some of these questions.
