I wish them luck, I really do. Redhook was a bleak warehouse area of Brooklyn 30 years ago when my dad was a beat cop there.

I believe area has been used as location for movies,etc. Good to see something being done for a rather bleak area.

Red Hook remains a rather bleak warehouse area with some great views of lower Manhattan.

This should give this section of Brooklyn a financial shot in the arm. It's worked in other coastal cities. Now would be an advantages time to buy in.

Maybe this is the beginning of another version of the South Street Seaport?
