Giving in to demands by local residents and elected officials, the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation has disclosed the names of the people who will decide which of the seven proposed hotel and residential complexes will be built next to Pier 1.
The Brooklyn Paper: On Monday, park staff revealed the four members on the heretofore mysterious selection committee: Regina Myer and David Lowin of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation; Joshua Laird of the Parks Department; and Joshua Gelfman of the Economic Development Corporation.
According to the Brooklyn Paper story, the Corporation decided to release the names “because [they] had become known to a handful of residents on the park’s powerless ‘community advisory council.'” Update: the Brooklyn Daily Eagle says it was done in response to their request under New York State’s Freedom of Information Act.
