Greenpoint
197-a Plan.
The City Council adopted the plan, as modified
and approved by the City Planning Commission,
on January 30, 2002. The plan represents a decade-long
effort by residents, local community organizations,
business leaders and Community Board 1 to fashion
a blueprint for how the community's neighborhoods
can best be developed, its problems addressed,
and its promise achieved. It offers a comprehensive
set of recommendations for the community, which
includes the East River waterfront with some largely
vacant potential redevelopment sites, the industrial
Newtown Creek waterfront, Bushwick Inlet, McCarren
Park, industrial enclaves and a variety of residential
and mixed-use neighborhoods.
The plan's recommendations propose a long-term
vision for the Greenpoint community that includes
a publicly accessible waterfront, a restored housing
stock in existing residential neighborhoods, opportunities
for new housing, commercial and light industrial
uses in rezoned areas along and upland of the
East River waterfront, an expanded historic district,
revitalized commercial streets, a significantly
improved environment, and a high quality of life
for its residents and workers.
