Investing in South Brooklyn

CIDC aims to recreate Coney Island as an important economic engine in South Brooklyn that will leverage more than $2.3B in private investment and generate about $2B in tax revenues for the city.

The revitalized Coney Island is poised to stimulate the South Brooklyn economy by creating thousands of local job opportunities.

This investment, in concert with the new rezoning framework, allows for the creation of thousands of jobs - about 9,000 construction jobs and about 2,000 permanent jobs.

JOB ACCESS

CIDC is working with the Brooklyn Workforce1 Center to develop a strategy for job access for local residents prior to development. Workforce1 will connect local jobseekers to jobs and training and will also connect both existing and future local businesses to training and employees.

Last summer, Coney Island Development Corporation (CIDC), in partnership with the Brooklyn Workforce 1 Career Center and the Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island, sponsored a series of five specialized Job Readiness Workshops to prepare Coney Island residents for the community’s first large-scale Career Opportunities Fair which was held on August 1, 2008. This summer, CIDC is expanding on these efforts to provide additional resources and opportunities to Coney Island residents.
