Kevin Riley's Land Use Committee rewrote both waterfront megaprojects on its plate before approving them. On Monitor Point, mostly MTA-controlled land in Lincoln Restler's Greenpoint district, the Council's modification adds 202 permanently affordable apartments, lifting the total from the applicant's 460 to 662, while keeping over an acre of open space and a museum building for the USS Monitor. One of the five original actions, a loading-requirements special permit, was withdrawn and filed: the modifications made it unnecessary. On the two Manhattan sites in Gale Brewer's district, the Counci
“The council's modifications will maintain the inclusion of over one acre of open space on-site”
