City Looking for Proposals for Piers 10, 11 and 12

June 22, NY Post — The Queen Mary 2 may be getting some neighbors in Brooklyn. The city is fishing for ideas about how to develop a 17-acre inlet of New York Harbor off Red Hook – right behind the piers where the massive cruise ship docks. The Economic Development Corp. this week put out a request for development schemes on the Atlantic Basin, an inlet cradled by Piers 10, 11 and 12 – the much-celebrated QM2’s new $52 million New York terminal. Among the ideas already floated as possibilities for the basin are a marina, water-borne transit hub or marine repair and refit facility. “Revitalizing Brooklyn’s waterfront with maritime activities and public access is a high priority for the Bloomberg administration,” said EDC’s interim president, Joshua Sirefman.
