Community Interim Site Use Plan for the Hunts Point Riverside Campus for Arts and the Environment
THE POINT Community Development Corporation is focused on youth development and community revitalization in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx. THE POINT asked the Capstone team to develop an interim site plan for an undeveloped land parcel that it had acquired, but was not using to its full potential. The Capstone team performed a rigorous community outreach process to collect input from residents and local stakeholders on the community's needs and preferred uses for the site. The team also considered financial feasibility, market conditions, organizational capacity, and mission alignment, in addition to community input to determine the best use for the site. The report includes final recommendations for the use of the site, potential opportunities for partnerships, funding sources for implementation, as well as general considerations for longerterm site development as further space and funding become available.
