West Side Elected Officials Call on NYC EDC to Pause Manhattan Cruise Terminal Master Plan

Today, Representative Jerrold Nadler (NY-12), NYS Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, and NYS Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal released the following statement calling on NYC Economic Development Corporation to pause the Manhattan Cruise Terminal master plan: “As representatives of the West Side, we are calling on the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) to pause the Manhattan Cruise Terminal master plan. In January, New York City will have a new Mayoral Administration who deserves to be included in these discussions. "While we applaud certain elements of the plan, including the implementation of shore power and broader infrastructure improvements, there has not been sufficient elected official, stakeholder, and community involvement to move forward with the plan. "The best step to move forward is to form a working group of stakeholders and community leaders who can discuss and analyze how to enhance the Manhattan waterfront.” ###
