"Last Monday, New York took a massive step towards an affordable future for our residents when the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Task Force approved a $3.5 billion vision plan for the future of Red Hook. Not only will this project deliver 6,000 housing units on the waterfront with 2,400 of them being permanently affordable but it will turn a crumbling marine terminal into a modern maritime port while creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs."
"We're also thinking creatively about how to utilize every available space for the housing New Yorkers need, in Brooklyn and throughout the entire city. Where past administrations saw vacant lots and old office buildings, ours saw an opportunity for housing equality. Last year, we issued Executive Order 43, requiring every city agency to review its properties and identify areas where new housing could be built because you can't solve a housing crisis when city government is holding onto underutilized land."
The Adams administration launched the Affordable Autumn initiative to lower living costs by reducing child care expenses, cutting taxes for working-class families, and decreasing unemployment. The Brooklyn Marine Terminal Task Force approved a $3.5 billion vision plan for Red Hook to deliver 6,000 waterfront housing units, including 2,400 permanently affordable units, and to convert a decaying marine terminal into a modern port that generates tens of thousands of good‑paying jobs. Executive Order 43 required city agencies to inventory properties for housing potential, producing plans for nearly 10,000 homes across 11 city‑owned sites and repurposing Flushing Airport for 3,000 new units.
