Master plan sought for Brooklyn’s downtown-Navy Yard-DUMBO tech triangle
A master plan is being sought that will lay the foundation to support the new Brooklyn Tech Triangle — from Downtown Brooklyn to DUMBO and the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The Brooklyn Tech Triangle Coalition has issued a request for proposals (RFP) seeking a multi-disciplinary team to create an area-wide master plan providing solutions to physical constraints and transportation and infrastructure issues.
The coalition — including the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership (DBP), the DUMBO Improvement District (DIB) and the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. (BNYDC) — recently conducted an economic impact study of the tech sector and found that it employs 9,628 people, generates $3.1 billion of economic output and is poised to nearly double over the next three years.
