Statement on the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Task Force’s Vote to Advance the BMT Vision Plan

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 22, 2025

“The Brooklyn Marine Terminal Vision Plan is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revitalize Brooklyn’s waterfront, create good-paying union jobs, and invest in our communities. As I wrote in an op-ed earlier this year in support of this resilient and equitable project, bustling waterfronts were once a symbol of the unbound opportunity that New York City offered to immigrants from around the world. Thank you to our elected leaders, including Gov. Hochul and Mayor Adams, for ensuring that bustle continues on. Let’s get shovels in the ground and start creating jobs for our communities!” — Carlo A. Scissura, Esq., President and CEO of the New York Building Congress
