Below is the official statement from our Councilmember Bill DeBlasio regarding the nomination of the Gowanus Canal as a Superfund. His District Manager Tom Gray sent it to me yesterday.
“For years I have supported cleaning up the Gowanus Canal but I
believe to make real progress we need to involve the community. The
health and safety of the surrounding residents has always been my
number one concern. I still believe local economic projects are an
essential part of the cleanup effort. As the public offers feedback
over the next two months, the Federal and Local Government must work together with the community to find the best way to clean up the
canal," said Councilmember Bill de Blasio.
The part about involving the community sounds great to me. That wasn't always the case.
What's your opinion, dear Reader?
