EDC to take questions at Columbia Waterfront Neighborhood Association Meeting
CoWNA Voices Concerns over Phoenix Beverages’ move to Piers 7 and 11
Venetia Lannon, VP of the Economic Development Corporation will present their plans for the Atlantic Basin on Wednesday, July 1st, at CoWNA’s General meeting held at 7 PM at Jalopy (315 Columbia Street). This is an issue that will impact all of us, please attend.
Time: 7 PM, July 1st
Place: Jalopy, 315 Columbia Street
between Woodhull and Rapelye Streets
As plans for Phoenix Beverages to take over piers 7 and 11 seemed to materialize, the Columbia Waterfront Neighborhood Association (CoWNA) wrote a letter to the Economic Development Corporation voicing our concerns, which primarily are:
- – a speedy conversion of Phoenix’ truck fleet to CNG
- – truck traffic on local streets
- – traffic volume on the BQE ramps
- – cold ironing to reduce pollution
