New York Senator Charles Schumer announced the Army has reached an agreement with the city that will transfer ownership of Admiral's Row - a six-acre site located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard - to New York City. According to The Associated Press, this was the final hurdle standing between city officials and the construction of a supermarket and retail shopping area.

Plans also include restoring two 19th-century buildings and is expected to provide 500 jobs to local workers.
