TAP Report: “Energy Resilience for Hunts Point” (PDF)

Report Summary:

Nearly half the food that feeds the people of New York City hinges on the viability and reliability of the Food Distribution Center (FDC) located on the Hunts Point Peninsula in the Bronx. To ensure that FDC’s energy production and food distribution be sustainable and resilient, the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) turned to ULI New York and its Technical Assistance Panels program to examine the viability and benefits of developing hydropower at Hunts Point.
