"At UPROSE, we have always known that real climate justice is built on the leadership and vision of frontline communities. Anchored by the work of our Climate Justice Center, this project is a bold step forward in decarbonizing Sunset Park and will serve as a blueprint for frontline communities across the country."
"This project will further activate the Brooklyn Army Terminal and set a citywide model for advancing an equitable and sustainable green economy," said Andrew Kimball, president and CEO of NYCEDC.
The project aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce energy costs and create job opportunities for local residents, saying, "Over its lifetime, the solar installation will generate $1.24 million in energy savings for 150 low-income households, who will see direct reductions on their Con Edison bills based on their share of the solar energy produced."
