New Connections, New Opportunities A 197-a Plan for the Sunset Park Waterfront



Community Vision
The Sunset Park 197-a Plan is built upon a vision of the Sunset Park waterfront as a sustainable mixed-use neighborhood that promotes regional and local economic development, fosters a healthy living and working environment, and reconnects upland residential communities to the water’s edge.

Goals:
  • To promote industrial redevelopment and job creation in Sunset Park while retaining existing industrial jobs.
  • To maximize waterfront access and open space opportunities in combination with industrial and waterfront redevelopment.
  • To preserve existing industrial, commercial and residential uses and fabric in the area east of First Avenue.
  • To encourage development that places a minimal environmental burden on adjacent residential communities.
