South Brooklyn Marine Terminal
Jacobs is designing the redevelopment of the 72-acre South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, which will serve as the staging and assembly port for wind turbine installation, and an operations and maintenance base. The port will be one of the largest offshore wind ports in the nation, enabling the construction of several offshore wind farms, which will provide clean energy to more than two million homes in New York.
