The Brooklyn Marine Terminal redevelopment plan became prime political real estate Tuesday, as U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman blasted his challenger in June’s Democratic primary, Brad Lander for wanting more time to review the project.
Lander countered that rushing ahead without resolving key transportation and port questions would undermine the pro-housing agenda both candidates claim to support.
The exchange came during a candidate forum for New York’s 10th Congressional District hosted by New York Law School’s Center for New York City and State Law and sponsored by Abundance New York and NYC New Liberals.
