Navy Yard Watch: Men In Blue's Building All Yellow
As we reported back in September, the Navy Yard is building a new headquarters for the tow pound cops as part of a larger plan that will reclaim the Sands Street entrance as the main gateway to the Navy Yard itself. Apparently, two stories is all she wrote on this one. No word on whether the new digs will make the pound police any more pleasant to deal with.

How much is the navy yard shelling out to build the police their new digs, i wonder.

Probably nothing.

Actually, g man, we're pretty sure BNYDC is paying to build this to keep NYPD happy as BNYDC reclaims the Sands Street gate as its main entrance.

Out of their own pocket, or using funds allocated by the city? In the current capital budget commitment plan, the mayor has allocated over $16M for "Development" and upwards of $70M for "Infrastructure." (Could we be a little more specific?) Not to mention the $3.5M allocated for "Navy Street," which if your rationale is correct, Mr. B, might very well include the funds necessary for the new tow pound headquarters. I wrote "Probably nothing" because I doubt that the funds for this project are coming out of the BNYDC budget.

Funds to pay for the NYPD building are coming from NYC's capital budget - as they should.
