Atlantic Basin Upland Programming Consultant Services RFP
New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) is seeking proposals for the development and implementation of a public events program that utilizes the bus staging area at Pier 11 of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in the Atlantic Basin (the Site) on non-cruise days. It is contemplated that the Program may consist of a variety of commercial and/or non-profit uses such as festivals, markets, arts and performance events, and recreational uses. Red Hook is an exciting neighborhood with a nascent arts scene, a mix of long-standing businesses and new entrepreneurs, and an active local residential community. The use of the Site for community, not-for-profit, and/or commercial uses, or a mix thereof, presents a rare opening for a qualified event programming entity or consortium of entities to bring a diverse set of events to a thriving and culturally rich neighborhood. It is also a unique opportunity to attract visitors from other parts of New York City to the Brooklyn waterfront, and to program events in a non-traditional setting.
