What would you want this 10 acre Creekside Exxon property to be?ExxonMobil is pursuing a New York State permit that will allow them to relocate the Greenpoint Oil Spill remediation facilities at 400 Kingsland Ave in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY.Owned by Exxon, this 10 acre site has 630 ft of Newtown Creek shoreline and 41,250 sqft of filled-in tidal wetland (legally filled in 1977).The potential selling and redevelopment of this site creates an opportunity for ExxonMobil to address its toxic legacy in Greenpoint. ExxonMobil can use this 10-acre Creekside land for community and environmental benefits in a neighborhood that they have poisoned since 1867.NCA has come up with some ideas of what this 10-acre property could be used for:- Maritime Transport: e.g. Activation Site for Blue Highways Initiative - Green Industry: e.g. Compost Facility- Small-Scale Manufacturing: e.g. Modern Manufacturing Hub with Public Waterfront Access- Habitat Restoration: e.g. Thriving Habitat with Native flora & FaunaExxon is hosting a virtual public meeting to present their permit application to the community in accordance with New York State guidelines on this Thursday, July 18th, 2024 at 6:30 pm. We encourage everyone to attend the meeting to learn about the permit application and ensure that community health is not jeopardized as part of this proposal.Learn more about ExxonMobil‘s proposed permit modification in our 🔗link in bio.
