New plan for Pier 40 revealed

The Pier 40 Working Group got its first look at a new joint proposal for Pier 40 this week, after asking the Pier 40 Partnership and Urban Dove/Camp Group to combine their redevelopment plans. The new proposal for the decrepit pier off of West Houston Street includes three public high schools, 75,000 square feet of retail space, 50,000-square-foot event space and open space. Pier 40 Partnership is a parent-led community group, while Camp Group operates day camps and Urban Dove works with city youth.
