Elise has left the following comment on the post "A Walk Around The Former Citizens Gas Works MGP Site With National Grid":
"The earliest this site will be cleaned up is 2015. A lot can happen between now and then. Gowanus Green, Brad Lander, etc, might see the light by then. Using this land for high density housing is a desperate act and I do think there are big dollar signs behind the motivation - not the affordable and senior housing needs that the proponents use to push this forward. PLUS, it is still on the books as Public Place site land for public recreation (which would not require intrusion into the land) and is a much safer use. As a community we are underserved as far as park lands."
