We have pivoted our focus, resources, and talent to respond and have seen an incredible push among local manufacturers and innovators to stand up supply chains to produce critical personal protective equipment for healthcare and essential workers. We have activated our assets for emergency needs: • Our team prepared Pier 90—dredging the berth in less than two weeks—to host the U.S. Navy Ship Comfort to alleviate hospital crowding. • The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal was set up as a 1,000-bed COVID hospital. • We established food distribution centers at Kingsbridge Armory and Pier 36, keeping New Yorkers fed and safe. • The Audubon Ballroom was converted into an emergency medical service space for Columbia University Medical Center and NY Presbyterian Hospital. We are actively sourcing and manufacturing medical supplies: • Over the past few weeks, we have stood up a dedicated team of more than 50 EDC’ers and worked with our sister agencies to source supplies from NYC and around. EDC’s decades-long support for the manufacturing community through the IDA and other programs has meant many of these supplies are being made here in New York City. Through this effort we have: o Secured 1,000 ventilators for local hospitals o Delivered 1,150,000 face shields, with plans to locally produce 500,000 per week o Delivered over 70,000 reusable and disposable gowns, with plans to locally produce nearly 450,000 per week o Identified local manufacturers to 3D print test swabs, increasing testing capacity • By tapping into New York City’s innovators and manufacturers, we are leading a consortium
