The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) is set to issue a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for the redevelopment of the 672,000-square-foot Department of Education building at 44-36 Vernon Blvd. This initiative aims to transform the site into commercial, light industrial, and community-serving spaces. Council Member Julie Won highlights the project’s focus on community involvement, stating that local feedback will shape future proposals. NYCEDC's CEO Andrew Kimball notes the potential for providing vital amenities and improved waterfront access to Long Island City, promoting greater community engagement.
"Planning for our city's public sites should be a community-led effort, and we are excited to announce plans for an RFEI for those who want to share their vision for the DOE building on Vernon Boulevard in Anable Basin."
"The redevelopment of the DOE building has the potential to provide Long Island City with additional waterfront access and amenities that the community has longed for."
