UPROSE’s GRID Plan 2.0: A Just Transition Plan for Sunset Park

April 8, 2023

Created to counter the processes of gentrification and the pricing out of green businesses in Sunset Park, the GRID 2.0 offers a comprehensive regenerative economic development strategy for the neighborhood. While the timeframe for the updated GRID plan extends to 2035, the GRID presents 28 objectives with implementation strategies that are designed to root a just transition in Sunset Park over the next 12 years. A handful of neighborhoods-wide objectives include employing Sunset Park residents in work designed to strengthen the environment, aligning building contractors under Local Law 97 (i.e., carbon caps), expanding cooperatively-owned community solar across Sunset Park, and greening the manufacturing/industrial, transportation, and residential areas of Sunset Park.
