The goal of the steering committee was to develop recommendations to support the long-term presence of garment manufacturers in midtown Manhattan. Over a three-month period, Public Works Partners facilitated the Steering Committee’s process.
We engaged Steering Committee members – including civic leaders, industry representatives, and real estate representatives to explore various strategies to address the industry’s needs, such as financing, zoning, real estate, and programmatic efforts. To successfully complete this engagement, we relied upon a keen understanding of the dynamics within the District and among steering committee members, quickly developing strong relationships with key members to understand their distinct visions for the future of the Garment Center.
The report and recommendations, released by the Manhattan Borough President’s Office, recommended a combination of real estate and programmatic solutions intended to maintain the Garment Center as a core for garment manufacturing and fashion at-large.
