The project is estimated to generate more than 15,000 jobs and $42bn in economic effect.

Hochul said: “The SPARC Kips Bay Master Plan is New York’s roadmap to establishing a hub for innovation, job growth, and education in the life sciences right in the heart of Manhattan.

Along with the master plan, affiliated officials established a new community task force to shape and steer the project’s vision. They issued a request for proposals for designers to work on important public space, community infrastructure, and a pedestrian bridge for the project’s first phase.

Adams said: “This campus will bridge the next generation to the future, taking New York City students of today directly into the economy of tomorrow with higher education opportunities through our academic partners at CUNY and internships in every level.

“Through true community engagement and public-private partnership to shape this project, the possibilities are endless for all New Yorkers.”
