Manufacturing the future: New tech hub lands in Sunset Park
Makerspace NYC — a community workspace for makers, builders, tinkerers, hardware developers, hobbyists, artists and entrepreneurs — launched its new 20,000-square foot prototyping facility at the Brooklyn Army Terminal on Saturday.
Futureworks Makerspace — whose impending arrival was announced last October — provides tenants with affordable access to advanced machinery, including industrial grade plasma cutters, 3-D printers and laser cutters.
According to the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the agency behind BAT, the facility consists of four programs that will create over 2,000 well-paying jobs over 10 years.
