Tucker Reed leaves behind group of specialists at Downtown Brooklyn Partnership
The current trend of growth in Brooklyn is greater than it has been during any other period in the last 100 years. It is estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau that Brooklyn will pass Chicago in population by 2020 to unofficially become the third largest city in the country.
Tucker Reed, president of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership (DBP) for nearly the last five years, helped to usher in a lot of the changes in the Downtown Brooklyn area. However, despite the incredible transformations that he has seen recently, stepped down as president of the community organization on Aug. 5.
The Brooklyn Eagle recently sat down with Reed to discuss some of the great changes he helped to oversee. Rather than talk about himself or the projects he fought to achieve, he spent the interview discussing the dedicated staff that he’s leaving behind and their potential headed into the future.
