Hook: A Plan for Community Regeneration.
Sponsored by Community Board 6 in Brooklyn, the
plan was adopted, as modified by the City Planning
Commission, on September 11, 1996. It outlines
a comprehensive strategy for rebuilding Red Hook's

promote opportunities for improved housing,
social and youth services, and expansion of
the residential population;
- (2)
preserve and expand industrial and maritime
activity where it is solidly positioned;
- (3)
promote employment and business opportunities
for local residents;
- (4)
promote new residential development;
- (5)
minimize conflict between industrial and residential
communities;
- (6)
strengthen and support the burgeoning arts community;
- (7)
improve public transportation access and circulation;
- (8)
strengthen existing retail areas; and
- (9)
revitalize and create public access to the waterfront.
