New York City Officials will Test the Waters for making Staten Island a Hub to Serve a Growing Wind-Energy Industry.
The Economic Development Corp. (EDC) filed a Request Tuesday for Companies Interested in Developing Facilities at the Homeport Pier in Stapleton to Support Offshore Wind Production.
That could include the "fabrication, installation and staging, operations, maintenance or repair facilities" for Turbines, according to the Procurement Request.
The Request opens the door for other Maritime-use Proposals.
An EDC Spokesman said that the Project will "drive job creation and generate renewable resources for New York City and the region at large."
The EDC's Request coincided with the State Legislature passing Landmark Climate Legislation that Sets a Goal of All the State's Power coming from Renewable Sources by 2040.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) earlier this year called for the State to Add 9,000 Megawatts of Offshore Wind Production by 2035.
The Production or Management Center could serve Wind Projects off the East Coast, from Maine through Virginia, as described in the EDC Request.
