Brooklyn Navy Yard

The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. is looking for a PR firm to position it as a "global model for urban manufacturing, equitable economic development and community partnerships," according to its RFP.

The 300-acre waterfront asset is home to more than 330 businesses employing 7,000-plus people who generate over $2B a year in economic impact for New York City.

BNYDC is a non-profit organization that serves as real estate development and property manager of the Yard on behalf of its owner, the City of New York.

It wants a PR partner to guide media outreach in an effort to broaden awareness of its mission and work.

The firm could highlight BNYDC's space leasing efforts, exhibits and programs and long-term development efforts under its comprehensive Master Plan to more than double employment to 16,000 by 2020.

BNYDC aims to reach that employment goal by fulfilling its mission of becoming a "vibrant and dense, modern manufacturing community where businesses are provided the stability needed to invest, grow and thrive."
