mayor bloomberg visits my company
Mayor Bloomberg was at our offices today, it was cool. He had a press conference to talk about the upcoming center for the applied sciences that will be built in new your city. 7 different consortiums of universities bid for it. NYC will provide land and $100 million, and the schools have to raise the rest of money, estimated in the several hundreds of millions. this center is estimated to create thousands of jobs, and tons of economic activity, particularly technology based activity, around NY.
the mayor has develop a habit to visit NY companies, and used them to host his press conferences vs. doing it all downtown. i think it's a great idea, and was fun watching him live today.
