Initiative<br />

Galvanize is a Colorado-based business<br />

applying for state funds to help finance the<br />

renovation of a 55,000 square foot space<br />

to accommodate tech training programs,<br />

workshops, co-working space for tech<br />

startups, and the presence of potential<br />

industry partners and mentors like IBM.<br />

Students enrolled in Galvanize educational<br />

programs have access to work spaces<br />

and Galvanize will also host weekly techfocused<br />

community events, including tech<br />

meet-ups and networking events.<br />

HB Studio will hire a part-time theater<br />

director fellow to help coordinate, curate,<br />

and direct its public performances.<br />

Henry Street Settlement, a social service<br />

nonprofit, is seeking state assistance in<br />

funding the capital costs of renovating<br />

the firehouse at 269 Henry Street, where<br />

it will relocate its primary employment<br />

center, the Neighborhood Resource Center<br />

(NRC). The renovated firehouse will be<br />

an ADA-compliant, multi-functional space<br />

in which to promote and deliver Henry<br />

Street’s extensive workforce development<br />

programs, which place hundreds of low<br />

income people in jobs each year.<br />

Hudson River Park requests planning funds<br />

for the design of a specialized science<br />

play featured playground and in-water<br />

pier platform at Pier 26. This will serve as<br />

an outdoor extension of the Park’s Pier<br />

26 estuarium building – a future estuary<br />

education center to be operated by<br />

Clarkson University and its programming<br />

partners including New York Hall of Science<br />

and the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater.<br />

The Hudson River Park presently receives 17<br />

million visits each year.<br />

The Intrepid Museum Foundation will<br />

reconstruct the marine and upland portions<br />

of Pier 86 by removing decommissioned<br />

chiller and rebuilding final segment of<br />

waterfront space.<br />

Josephine Herrick Project in partnership<br />

with regional Veteran Centers, will teach<br />

photography programming to Veterans in<br />

five regions of New York State including a<br />

ladder for veterans interested in pursuing<br />

photography as a career.<br />

LP21 announces an exciting leadership<br />

expansion venture funded by the Regional<br />

Economic Development Council! LP21 will<br />

hire an Operations Manager who will play<br />

a vital role in leading NY’s Bomba Plena<br />

Ambassadors to the World into its next 35<br />

years of dynamic programs and unrivalled<br />

performances.<br />

The Tenement Museum will use grant<br />

funds to support the launch of a strategic<br />

marketing campaign to boost visitation as it<br />

opens its new exhibit in July 2017.<br />
