Since its formation, Coney Island Development Corporation (CIDC) has spearheaded the creation of a comprehensive planning process for the future of Coney Island. In addition to its work on a rezoning framework that will move development in Coney Island forward, CIDC, in partnership with various City agencies, has already begun to fulfill its mission through a series of exciting community-based development projects.
