The South Brooklyn Marine Terminal is going to be transformed into an offshore wind hub. Over the next few years, the terminal will be converted into an operation that constructs large off shore wind farms. Deputy Mayor For Economic and Workforce Development Maria Torres Springer says this will produce 13-thousand jobs.
“It is really incredible think that this location will birth a whole new industry in New York City and will be a key driver of our long term equitable recovery.”
There will also be an offshore wind learning center established to connect students with future wind jobs. This is all part of the goal of officials to make New York City a major hub for the offshore wind industry.
