What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

River Development Equities, a New Jersey-based firm, terminated its agreement to acquire the 66-acre Liberty Steel site in Georgetown. This site was part of a massive planned waterfront redevelopment that also included the former International Paper mill. River Development stated the cancellation was necessary because a deadline was approaching and they needed additional time to finish environmental analysis.

The project's collapse occurred amid a zoning moratorium that city leaders approved and extended. While critics of the moratorium blasted city officials, supporters argued the policy was being used to cover other issues that derailed the ambitious waterfront project.
