Bronx Green Jobs Center

We are currently designing a community center that will be housed in a 12,000 square-foot, formerly industrial space at 585 East Fordham Road in the Bronx. The space is currently undergoing renovations that will transform it into a state-of-the-art learning facility featuring modern labs, New York’s first dedicated green economy entrepreneurship center, an event space for up to 200 attendees, and a street fronting café offering local products. The Green Jobs Center comes at a critical moment, with New York state projected to add over 172,000 new clean energy jobs in the next five years. In New York City alone, green economy jobs are expected to grow at an 8% annual rate—twice as fast as overall employment. Certain roles, like solar panel installers, are seeing rapidly growing demand, with projected job growth reaching 48% by 2030.
