The Seaport Working Group was created by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) earlier this year. As a member, Save Our Seaport has kept an eye on the proceedings. In our view, it is becoming obvious that the Seaport Working Group is being steered through a flawed process designed to resemble participatory consensus building. In reality, the NYC EDC is trying to create a belated cover to legitimize what it has always wanted to do: unilaterally assign and privatize all unique and irreplaceable Seaport Historic District public piers, properties, and land for the benefit of the developer, Howard Hughes Corporation.
