Investments to Create Green Sector Jobs are Part of New York City's Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan

PR-162-09 is a very interesting press release. Here's a sneak peek of what you'll be reading about:

"Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Robert C. Lieber, and Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation Chairman Alan Fishman and President Andrew H. Kimball today opened the Perry Avenue Building, the nation's first multi-story green industrial facility at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Mayor Bloomberg also announced the creation of Duggal Greenhouse, a 60,000-square-foot LEED Platinum certified facility that will be used to manufacture eco-friendly products and will become a laboratory for new sustainable products."

There have been a lot of political debates about going green in NYC and I have to admit I've been very curious to see what the botton line would be regarding this venture. Looks like it's going to be a very interesting set of projects indeed. If you have time, click the link and take a read. You may be surprised at what the NYC government has been up to lately.

Kudos and congrats to Mayor Mikey B. I may have to go over and collect some eye candy for my readers. :-)
