In the article, executive director Eddie Bautista of the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance, Inc., an RBF grantee, highlighted the urgency of preparing industrial areas on the waterfront, where many low-income residents live. Analysis by Climate Central, Inc., another RBF grantee, was also cited in the article.
