The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. wants a PR firm to position the Yard as a global model for urban manufacturing, equitable economic development and community partnerships.
The 300-acre complex is home to more than 550 businesses that employ 11K people and generate $2.3B in yearly economic impact.
Tenants include manufacturers, media & entertainment production houses, commercial artists, fashion & jewelry designers and food providers.
The Yard, which is the economic hub of the DUMBO, Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods, is undergoing its biggest expansion since WWII.
It will add 1M square feet over the next decade, bolstering the number of businesses to about 750 and employees to 14K.
The selected PR firm will broaden awareness of the Yard’s mission; amplify space leasing efforts, exhibits, programs, and long-term expansion plans.
It will specialize in storytelling focused on innovative businesses, workforce/education, economic development and real estate projects.
Proposals are due Nov. 22. They go to [email protected].
