Episode: City Councilmember Alexa Aviles & Carolina Salguero Discuss Future of Brooklyn Marine Terminal
Description: On Monday, the Brooklyn Marine Terminal task force approved a $3.5 billion redevelopment plan backed by luxury real estate interests. One of the task force's dissenters was City Councilmember Alexa Aviles who says the plan was rushed and unrealistic. Carolina Salguero, founder and executive director of PortSide NewYork, says the fight will continue and argues for why South Brooklyn needs a working waterfront that will make it easier to ship goods into New York and create new recreational activities as well.
