Mayor announces Made in NY campus for Sunset Park
Sunset keeps booming.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and members of New York’s fashion, film, and television industries showed up at Sunset Park’s Bush Terminal, 13 42nd Street, to announce that the historic building will be converted into a Made in New York campus, which is slated to be completed in three years and create over 1,000 jobs.
The press conference, held on Tuesday, February 14, revealed that the city has made a $136 million investment in the facility which will encompass a newly constructed 100,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art film and television production facility, as well as major renovations to two existing buildings to create nearly 200,000 square feet of garment manufacturing space.
