In the fall of 2020, Geoff Storr, a graduate student of Public and Urban Policy at the New School worked with the Newtown Creek Alliance on a policy brief addressing last mile distribution centers around Newtown Creek. The research paper seeks to address the Central Policy Issue: How can the localized quality of life, environmental and economic burdens caused by the proliferation of last-mile distribution operations in the Newtown Creek industrial area, and other industrial areas in New York City, be mitigated? NCA is very thankful for Geoff’s thorough research and detailed analysis of this growing sector, including its impacts on the surrounding communities and recommendations for improved land use and transportation policy. We look forward to continuing this important conversation with Geoff, our partner organizations working to protect and improve the Industrial Business Zones around the Creek, and, of course, community members interested in and impacted by this issue.
