• LDCENY Spotlight

The City of New York established the East Brooklyn Industrial Business Zone (EBIBZ) in 2006 and named the LDCENY as its manager. The zone, which is funded by the Mayor’s Office on Economic Development through the Department of Small Business Services, encompasses a total of 53 blocks and includes approximately 125 businesses employing approximately 2700 workers.

About 75 percent of the IBZ catchment area is zoned M1-3, for light to heavy industrial manufacturing. The remaining areas include a commercial mix, the Trey Whitfield School, and a small number of residential units and churches.

As IBZ manager, the LDCENY serves as a voice for area businesses, providing district maintenance, incentives, support to and linkages between manufacturers in the zone and city agencies. We also work to attract businesses to the area and to encourage established companies to relocate to East Brooklyn.

For more information about the East Brooklyn Industrial Business Zone, contact Bill Wilkins, Industrial Business Zone Coordinator.
