  • NOVEMBER 20, 2015, NEW YORK, NY: PACWTC Chairman John Zuccotti and President/ Director Maggie Boepple Today Announced the Select
    (Credit: Matthias Vriens McGrath) NOVEMBER 20, 2015, NEW YORK, NY: PACWTC Chairman John Zuccotti and President/ Director Maggie Boepple today announced the selection of the Brooklyn-based firm REX as the lead architect for The Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center. Scheduled to open in 2019, PACWTC will serve as a major new addition to New York's cultural landscape, producing and premiering works of theater, dance, music, musical theater, opera, and film, as well as productions that cross multiple disciplines. The roughly 80,000 square-foot building, which will incorporate leading edge technology, will also serve as a home for the Tribeca Film Festival during its annual run. The selection of REX follows last week's re-affirmation of support for the PACWTC by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), which released the first $10 million of the $99 million that the LMDC has pledged to the project. The balance of the project cost - which will be determined once the design process is complete - will be funded through private sources. "The selection of REX and the LMDC's renewed commitment are critical milestones in our collective effort to create a vibrant new cultural and community anchor for all of Lower Manhattan," said Zuccotti. "We are now two important steps closer to completing the World Trade Center and fully realizing our vision of Lower Manhattan as the world's most dynamic, 24/7 urban community." TH ONE LIBERTY PLAZA, 29 FLOOR NEW YORK, NY 10006 REX, led by Joshua Prince-Ramus, was selected after a rigorous invitational process that focused on architectural firms that have gained distinction through their celebrated work on performing arts houses.

  • Brooklyn Navy Yard to Invest $46 Million for New Green
    Brooklyn Navy Yard to invest $46 million for new green manufacturing center; 220,000 s/f facility to create 300 new jobs June 11, 2012 - Front Section According to mayor Michael Bloomberg, governor Andrew Cuomo, Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz and state and city elected officials, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. will invest $46 million to build a green manufacturing center in the Navy Yard. This New York City Regional Economic Development Council priority project consists of the adaptive reuse of three former WWII-era Navy machine shops into an industrial complex, creating 300 new permanent jobs and 400 construction jobs. "The Brooklyn Navy Yard is an economic success story if there ever was one, and this investment in green manufacturing is more great news for the Navy Yard and for New York City's economy," said Bloomberg. "Today the Navy Yard is home to the kind of innovation that is going to create the jobs of the future and keep our city competitive in the long-term." "This project is an example of how the Regional Council initiative is helping the state invest in a productive and sustainable innovation economy that will put New Yorkers back to work now and for years to come," Cuomo said. "This is an eco-friendly investment that will create almost 300 new jobs while making space available for a successful company to produce the tools needed to keep the heroic members of our armed services safe." "The Green Manufacturing Center at the Brooklyn Navy Yard - with its lead tenants Crye Precision and Macro Sea - will show the world how to successfully incorporate green manufacturing and sustainable practices into a state-of-the-art facility that will create hundreds of permanent and construction jobs," said Markowitz.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard: A Mission-Oriented Model of Industrial Heritage Reuse Abstract This thesis examines how the mission-oriented corporation, an emerging type of public-private partnership, delivers historic preservation outcomes in coordination with other urban management goals. It presents a study of four redeveloped sites within the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York: Building 92, the Naval Cemetery Landscape, the Building 128 Complex (also called the “Green Manufacturing Center”), and Admirals Row Plaza. The redevelopment strategies implemented at the Brooklyn Navy Yard form a model for exploring the synergies between the conservation of heritage assets and broad urban planning, management, and regeneration policies. Though its projects have achieved varying degrees of success, the Brooklyn Navy Yard has found a relative equilibrium between retaining its

  • Annual Report 2016
    543 Union Street #1E Brooklyn, NY 11215 tel: 718.541.4378 www.gowanuscanalconservancy.org 2016 GOWANUS CANAL CONSERVANCY ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends and Neighbors, Ten years ago, Andy Simons founded the Gowanus Canal Conservancy with the vision of a healthy, vibrant, revitalized Gowanus Canal - lined with a public esplanade and stewarded by local residents. This vision was in stark contrast with the realities at hand: a filthy canal with no plans for a clean-up; an uncertain roadmap for land use; and barely a whisper of hands-on environmental programming. At the time, Andy’s vision must have seemed audacious - a pipe dream. It turned out to be prescient. Today, GCC is a thriving community-based organization, providing robust educational and stewardship activities to thousands of volunteers and implementing leading-edge green infrastructure and planning projects throughout the Gowanus Watershed. These programs and initiatives have provided a framework for volunteers and partners to shape the priorities for a Gowanus neighborhood that is being transformed by extraordinary forces: Superfund, rezoning, development, climate change, densification, affordability, livability. photo: Pavel Bendov The 2000 Gallon Project at our 2016 pop-up nursery. These community priorities are the building blocks for the Gowanus Greenscape, an open space masterplan that will be woven into the broader clean-up and rezoning of the neighborhood. The Greenscape will embrace resiliency and stormwater management; public access and parkland; and historic preservation, ecological protection, and community stewardship. In other words, the Greenscape that is emerging looks a lot like Andy’s original vision -- built through the hard work, passion and participation of all of you.
