DOWNTOWN — After four years of promises, plans were set yesterday to convert the derelict former Transit Authority headquarters opposite Metrotech into a high-tech education center.
“The transformation of 370 Jay St. into NYU’s applied science and engineering institute is a game changer for Downtown Brooklyn,” said Alan Fishman, chair of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership. “This takes the district’s resurgence to a new level and will position Downtown Brooklyn to rival any college town in the country.”
