BROOKLYN MARINE TERMINAL: PAST, PRESENT, & WHAT’S NEXT FOR RED HOOK?

Hosted by Resilient Red Hook in collaboration with Pratt Institute’s Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment, this free public event invites you to engage with a compelling exhibit, share your ideas, and join a growing conversation about what’s at stake in the transformation of this critical 122-acre site.

What’s at Stake? As proposals circulate for thousands of new housing units and large-scale land use changes at the BMT, local voices must be at the table. Can Red Hook preserve its industrial jobs, maritime heritage, and climate readiness while adapting to future needs?
