For the Brooklyn Academy of Music Local Development Corporation (BAMLDC), HR&A conducted an analysis of the proposed development of a cultural district in the neighborhood of Fort Greene surrounding BAM. HR&A prepared the development program of 600,000 square feet of new rehearsal, performance, and gallery/exhibition space for cultural and arts groups in need of affordable, custom-designed space. An economic impact study produced by the firm estimated the benefits to the public of this long-term redevelopment plan, including new taxes, jobs, and economic growth. The firm also managed all aspects of the public outreach process, including identifying key stakeholders and follow-up with participants.
