Calls grow for Domino park

Williamsburg officials want a city-owned waterfront parcel next to the Domino Sugar plant to be turned into a park. The property at 390 Kent Avenue is the site of a parking lot and a maintenance shop for the Departments of Transportation and Citywide Administrative Services. “The city does this a lot,” said Council Member David Yassky. “They own a lot of waterfront property, much of it being used for facilities that do not need to be on the water – everything from salt piles to tow pounds to plain old storage.”
