An empty lot in Greenpoint may soon be turned into a park.

Members of Community Board One say the park would be on the waterfront and have views of Manhattan. The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) has drawn up several plans for the site. The EDC says the project would give residents access to the water and open space.

Community board members say the city still has to approve the project. Once the plans are approved, the park could be open by March 2007.
