    The council member asks if the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) could consider integrating the Downtown Heliport into the city's broader marine highway network, exploring uses beyond tourism and travel to East Hampton.

    • One of the responses to the EDC's request for proposals (RFP) focuses more on marine solutions rather than aviation
    • The council member encourages the EDC to think creatively and consider the RFP responses proposing unconventional uses of the heliport
    • The discussion highlights exploring the heliport's role in sustainable transportation initiatives
    • The potential to discontinue helicopter operations at the 34th Street heliport is mentioned, which could impact revenue for the Hudson River Park Trust
