Regina Myer introduced as new president of Downtown Brooklyn Partnership at ‘Make it in Brooklyn’ summit
Shifting her focus from the waterfront to downtown, Regina Myer, former president of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation, was formally introduced as the new president of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership during the second annual “Make it in Brooklyn” summit at City Point on Wednesday.
“I came all the way up the hill from Brooklyn Bridge Park, where I led the team to transform an inaccessible waterfront into a world-class park that now receives over 4 million people a year in visitorship,” Myer said. “Downtown Brooklyn is now in the process of writing its success story, and we are all doing this together.”
Myer, who was appointed to run Brooklyn Bridge Park in 2008 by then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is now taking over the reins of Downtown Brooklyn after Tucker Reed announced he was stepping down in August after five years holding the position. Just as she transformed the park, Myer has big plans for Downtown Brooklyn over the next 10 years.
