"The countdown is on to the Boogie Down opening doors to the Bronx Green Jobs Center, the country's first-of-its-kind workforce development and entrepreneurship hub, transforming a dilapidated building into a state-of-the-art facility. Inside, the Center will prepare green economy workers through job training, employment services, small business innovation, and community events that bridge our borough's talent with a rapidly expanding world of economic opportunity."
"In addition to modern work- and event space for hands-on training, it will be a beacon for green entrepreneurs. New Yorkers can walk in off the street with direct access to specialized expertise, guiding them through every step of the process in creating business plans, establishing a corporate entity, accessing financial resources, and more. This project takes the values of U.N. Climate Week, moves beyond the words and promises that have too often left New Yorkers feeling forgotten, and boldly acts as only New York can."
