The future of Gowanus is entering a critical phase, with the confluence of several major long-standing efforts: the federally mandated cleanup under the canal’s Superfund status; related cleanups at the state and city levels; and probable land use changes that will cue both private development and city investment in the public realm. The Lowlands seeks to ensure the community has a key role in shaping a watershed that is accessible, active, and clean for all.
