The Department of Housing Preservation and Development announced today that it would be accepting proposals for the redevelopment of the public place site in Gowanus, a 5.8-acre parcel of land next to the canal. The city is inviting proposals that will result in the construction of a mixed-use development with more than 400 units of mixed-income housing as well as commercial space. A manufactured gas plant used to operate at the public place, and the location is thought to have toxic contaminants reaching more than 100 feet underground in some spots. Cleaning up those contaminants will cost upwards of $60 million. more [Curbed]
