Andrew Kimball, longtime Industry City CEO, named as head of NYCEDC
Andrew Kimball, longtime CEO of Industry City, was named CEO of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) by Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday, Feb. 23. Kimball also was a former president and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. before his tenure with Industry City.
At NYCEDC, Kimball will be responsible for delivering on the mayor’s economic development vision; creating good jobs in burgeoning fields, such as cybersecurity and life sciences; and creatively using the city’s assets to promote equitable growth.
“New York City has everything we need to recover from the pandemic-induced economic downturn and to build a truly vibrant, inclusive, economic future — an unmatched spirit, an invaluable workforce, and now, a vision that can and will become a reality,” said Kimball. “I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Mayor Adams, Deputy Mayor [Maria] Torres Springer, and all in both the public and private sectors who share that vision of New York City.”
