A project to build a facility at Staten Island’s Arthur Kill Terminal to assemble massive wind turbines for off-shore use, received a $48 million federal grant on Wednesday. The 32-acre facility has a port, making it the only current East Coast manufacturing location outside the restrictiveness of bridges.
Atlantic Offshore Terminals (AOT) entered a purchase agreement with Riverside Galleria to acquire the 30-acre property in 2019.
The federal grant will be used to dredge 740,000 cubic yards to create a 35 foot-deep basin to support development at the site.
The plan for the site is for it to consist of a 1,365-foot wharf that has enhanced load-bearing capacity, 32 acres above sea level and 2 buildings — a combined warehouse and office building for project management.
