BNYDC believes that the industrial sector can and will flourish in New York, employing a diverse cross-section of New Yorkers in jobs that offer real career pathways. BNYDC's vision is a vibrant and dense, modern manufacturing community where businesses are provided the stability needed to invest, grow, and thrive. As the Yard grows, BNYDC will facilitate the expansion of key uses that enable the success of the Yard's tenant businesses and support the stabilization and growth of the industrial sector. As the economic opportunity at the Yard increases, BNYDC will strive to find new and better ways to reach out to and partner with the local community to access these benefits.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) is the not-for-profit corporation that manages the Navy Yard under a contract with the City of New York. As the landlord for the Yard's 330 businesses that employ over 7,000 people, BNYDC's mission is to lease space in the Yard, develop the underutilized areas of the Yard, and oversee the ongoing modernization of the Yard's infrastructure. In 2011, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Center at BLDG 92 opened as a program of BNYDC. The mission of BLDG 92 is to celebrate the Navy Yard’s past, present and future, and to promote the role the Yard and its tenants play as an engine for job creation and sustainable urban industrial growth. By providing access to exhibits, public tours, educational programs, archival resources and workforce development services, BLDG 92 reinforces the Yard’s unique bonds with the community.
