Yesterday it was announced that the State Senate has approved $15 million to fund two green redevelopment projects at the Brooklyn Navy Yard: a 220,000-square-foot “Green Manufacturing Center” from adapted WWII buildings and an exhibition and visitor center, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Center at Building 92, which will include the reuse of the former Marine Commandant’s house. This is in addition to the news in April that Mayor Bloomberg had opened a green industrial facility there, the Perry Building, and announced plans for another one, the Duggal Building. The $15 million comes from the NYC Council, the Borough President, and the State Environmental Protection Fund. Construction on the green center will begin in Spring 2010, predicted to last 18 months, and work on the visitors’ center is set to begin in October, ending mid-2011.
