Decisive Vote Looms, Finally, for Whole Foods in Brooklyn

New varieties of hybrid tomatoes have been created in the time it has taken for one supermarket to rise in Brooklyn.

Eight years ago, Whole Foods Market bought a 4.2-acre site on the corner of Third Street and Third Avenue, steps from the infamous Gowanus Canal. Since then, the chain has had a ribbon-cutting and removed the toxic waste on the ground to the state’s satisfaction — but still there is no store. Whole Foods adjusted its plans because of the economy and community concerns about parking and traffic.
