Plans are moving forward for a 583,000 square-foot commercial and manufacturing development at the site of Acme Smoked Fish at 30 Gem St.

A scoping meeting for the development will be held in Greenpoint in on August 27th, at the Polish Slavic Center (176 Java St.) at 4 p.m.

A special land use framework will have to be negotiated for 30 Gem St. to be rezoned from manufacturing to commercial use.

Pennsylvania-based developers Rubenstein Partners are seeking to include an 80,000 square-foot Acme manufacturing in the proposed development. Acme’s current facility is approximately 65,000 square feet, the Wall Street Journal reported last winter.
