February 8, 2006 — With the $150 million Brooklyn Bridge Park plan gaining final approval on Tuesday, officials say that, within months, they’ll begin accepting proposals from developers interested in building the hotel, condos and commercial ventures that will pay for the park’s upkeep. The state Public Authorities Control Board voted to allow the Port Authority to turn over Piers 1, 2, 3 and 5 on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront for the project. The city-owned Pier 6 is already committed to the plan. Nine civic groups have joined forces and hired a law firm seeking to halt construction unless the nearly 1,300 proposed condo units are removed from the plan.
