The Brooklyn Marine Terminal Development Corporation and Advisory Task Force, explained - Red Hook Star-Revue

The Brooklyn Marine Terminal Development Corporation (BMTDC) was established following the September 2025 approval of a vision plan for the 122-acre working waterfront. As a local development corporation, the BMTDC can issue revenue-backed bonds to fund the project. The board, which includes mayoral appointees and city officials, has held three meetings to date, primarily featuring presentations from the New York City Economic Development Corporation.

Accompanying the board is an advisory task force (BMTATF) composed of previous task force members and local community representatives. This group will transition into an oversight body once the General Project Plan is approved. The current board includes figures such as Michelle de la Uz of the Fifth Avenue Committee and Karen Blondel of the Red Hook West Tenants Association, as well as city officials tasked with addressing the site’s significant transit and housing challenges.
