Another great victory for Bushwick Inlet Park and the citizens of North Brooklyn!

At the October 18, 2017 Town hall meeting with Mayor De Blasio and CM Levin at St. Francis College, the mayor along with Commissioner  Silver of NYC Parks announced that the city of New York has committed nearly $17 million dollars to the further development of Bushwick Inlet Park. The funds have been allocated with $9 million going to environmental remediation of the Motiva site (the strip of land around the Inlet itself, and $7.7 million towards construction of a permanent park space at 50 Kent (the new lawn between N10 and N11 that National Grid,  where remediation was completed earlier this year). These funds are in addition to the $22 million that has already been allocated to demolition and environmental testing at the Bayside Fuel Oil site.
