 The efforts to revitalize  
 and improve Hunts Point  
 continued last week when  
 it was announced the Pratt  
 Center will facilitate engagement  
 to guide future investments  
 in the neighborhood.  
 On  Friday,  February  7,  
 NYC  Economic Development  
 Corporation selected  
 a team led by the Pratt Center  
 for Community Development  
 to  help  to  update  the  
 2004 Hunts Point Vision  
 Plan.  
 This  will  build  on  the  
 success of the original vision  
 plan, which led to city  
 investments  in  new  waterfront  
 parks, safer streets  
 for pedestrians and cyclists,  
 hundreds of new jobs and  
 workforce opportunities  
 and improved air quality  
 through reduced pollution. 
 During  the  next  18  
 months, EDC and city agencies, 
   in  partnership  with  
 Councilman  Rafael  Salamanca  
 and Pratt Center,  
 will  work  with  the  Hunts  
 Points community to identify  
 ways to bring economic  
 opportunity and new amenities  
 to the neighborhood.  
 Starting this spring, EDC  
 and Pratt Center will host a  
 series  of  public  workshops  
 and  meetings  to  gather  input  
 and feedback to address  
 community needs and priorities. 
 “We’re excited to be partnering  
 with the city and the  
 community  to  update  the  
 Hunts Point Vision Plan,”  
 said  Elena  Conte,  deputy  
 director for the Pratt Center  
 for Community Development. 
    
 The Pratt Center, which  
 has  worked  in  the  south  
 Bronx for over 30 years,  
 is  teaming  with  Barretto  
 Bay  Strategies,  Mathews  
 Nielsen Landscape Architects, 
  Mainland Media,  and  
 the Hunts Point & Longwood  
 Community Coalition,  
 a group of community-based  
 organizations focused on improving  
 the lives of people in  
 the south Bronx.  
 Beyond  the  recommendations  
 outlined in the 2004  
 Vision Plan, EDC and city  
 agencies are advancing a  
 number of important projects  
 in Hunts Point: 
 • Redevelopment of the  
 Spofford Juvenile Detention  
 Center into The Peninsula, a  
 mixed-use campus with over  
 700 affordable homes, public  
 open space, commercial and  
 community  facility  space,  
 and industrial jobs; 
 • Planning for a new  
 Hunts Point Metro-North  
 Railroad station that will  
 connect local residents via  
 public  transit  to  jobs  and  
 destinations  in  Manhattan,  
 the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut 
 • Committing $67 million  
 to upgrade the Hunts Point  
 Wastewater Treatment  
 Plant to improve air quality  
 and energy effi ciency; 
 • Protecting New York  
 City’s food supply by providing  
 back-up power to critical  
 facilities in the Hunts Point  
 Food Distribution Center  
 through a tri-generation microgrid; 
 • Enhancing social resiliency  
 by implementing  
 solar energy and storage at  
 two neighborhood schools,  
 which can serve as community  
 gathering  spaces  during  
 emergencies; 
 • Planning for a new marine  
 barge  terminal  to  reduce  
 truck  travel  and  create  
 jobs for Bronx residents  
 –  an  initiative  of  the  city’s  
 Freight NYC plan for strategic  
 investments in this critical  
 sector of the economy 
 Councilman  Salamanca  
 said  he  is  glad  all  of  the  
 groups are working together  
 with one purpose.  
 “While  much  has  been  
 accomplished,  it  is  important  
 to revisit the objectives  
 of the Vision Plan and build  
 on it as we enter a new decade,” 
  Salamanca said.
