A new affordable industrial center has opened in Ozone Park, thanks to funding and support from state agencies.
Last week, the nonprofit industrial developer Greenpoint Manufacturing and Design Center (GMDC) marked the site’s opening along with Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul and a slew of government officials.
The 85,000-square-foot facility will provide affordable space to more than two dozen local small and mid-sized manufacturing businesses.
The 113-year-old factory site was renovated with $11 million in investments from the state.
The industrial center is spread over three buildings and spans an entire city block. It will be leased to woodworkers, artisans, custom fabricators and other entrepreneurs.
Officials estimate it will provide about 80 jobs at the facility.
