The Economic Development Corporation released a request for proposals this week for a 25,000-square-foot vacant lot at Atlantic Avenue between Bancroft and Prescott places. The EDC is ideally looking for industrial and light manufacturing uses for the site and a company that can expand the job opportunities for local residents. (The area is zoned as MX-10, which allows for a variety of commercial uses.) Seth Pinsky, the EDC’s president, is quoted as saying the following about the site’s potential in a press release: “Through this project, we have the opportunity not only to strengthen an economic sector that is critical to the City’s future, but also to create quality jobs in an area in which the need for such jobs is great.” More info on the RFP lives here.
