除了电子商务巨头亚马逊承诺将其未来的长岛市总部带来的25,000个工作外，“将要上班的[当地]人数将在数万美元中。”纽约大会代表大会总裁兼首席执行官Carlo Scissura。
That includes designers, engineers, contractors and construction trades—and these jobs will likely last a while because, according to Scissura, the plan to site one of Amazon’s two new bases in Queens, announced Nov. 13, will be “a decade-long process.” In a joint statement, the state and city said that in 2019, Amazon will occupy up to 500,000 sq ft at One Court Square and will build 4 million sq ft of commercial space in Long Island City’s waterfront area over the next 10 years, with potential expansion up to 8 million sq ft over the next 15 years.
根据《华盛顿邮报》的报道，亚马逊从纽约获得了约15亿美元的补贴。州长安德鲁·库莫（Andrew Cuomo）（D）和纽约市市长比尔·德·布拉西奥（D）表示，该公司将为一所新学校捐赠土地，并为一所占地3.5英亩的公共滨水公园捐赠土地。Scissura预计，亚马逊项目将刺激其滨水地点以外的基础设施，包括加急的BQX街车建造，这是一项计划在Astoria，Queens和Brooklyn的Red Hook之间的铁路项目。
拉瓜迪亚机场的机架地铁链接也可能会得到提升。大型大会是10月在约20个航空公司，工会，建筑集团以及其他商业和社区利益相关者推动该项目的联盟的联合主席。
Scissura说，指出机场的80亿美元升级，“必须开发LGA Airtrain，成为该愿景的一部分，” Scissura说。“交通拥堵使我们的商业区瘫痪。”该联盟被称为更好的LGA方式，希望在2019年第四季度完成项目环境影响声明。
布鲁克林负担得起的住房项目开始
The nonprofit Breaking Ground and the African-American Planning Commission broke ground Sept. 26 for Edwin’s Place, a $75-million, 125-unit affordable housing project in Brooklyn’s Brownsville section.
由A.M.设计的八层建筑斯特恩建筑师将从街道上恢复，以容纳相邻的高架地铁轨道，并将拥有3,000平方英尺的零售空间。
The project has received funding from New York State Homes and Community Renewal, the New York City Dept. of Housing Preservation and Development, New York State Homeless Housing and Assistance Corp. , and banking giant Wells Fargo.
“Edwin’s Place will transform a vacant city-owned lot into homes.” Rev. David K. Brawley, pastor of East Brooklyn Congregations-Metro I.A.F., said in a statement.
N.Y. Issues First Offshore Wind Power Solicitation
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority issued on Nov. 8 its first comprehensive solicitation for large offshore wind power projects, seeking 800 MW or more to meet new clean-energy goals in a bid to compete with neighboring states.
库莫（Cuomo）到2030年将州电力的50％设定为州电力的50％，到那时，近海风的目标为2400兆瓦。他在一份声明中说：“这项行动是纽约可再生能源开发的分水岭。”他补充说，它将为制造，安装和运营以及维护方面的最多7,000个熟练的新工作提供支持。该招标要求项目劳动协议和施工期间的现行工资，这是一项由独立审计和缓解步骤支持的经济福利计划，以解决影响商业捕鱼的环境影响和问题。
The agency is set to award 25-year contracts for projects ranging between 200 MW and 800 MW, with potential for larger capacity projects “if sufficiently attractive proposals are received,” it said. Each bidder must submit at least one proposal of about 400 MW. Bids are due in February, with awards set for spring to take advantage of federal tax credits that expire in 2019.
Separately, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on Nov. 15 issued a draft plan for lease tracts in waters off southern New York and New Jersey that could generate up to 9.6 GW of offshore wind energy.
