Advocacy

Evergreen strives to bridge the gap between businesses and government agencies to ensure the city fosters a thriving manufacturing and industrial environment.

The advocacy work Evergreen does benefits both individual firms and the industrial business community as a whole. We work with city and state agencies to help them understand the unique challenges facing industrial businesses in NYC to promote policies that encourage business and job growth, such as incentive and financing programs. Evergreen endorses local land use policies to preserve and grow manufacturing jobs. We represent the industrial community during city and state transportation and infrastructure planning. Staff members actively represent the organization on the boards of the Urban Manufacturing Alliance, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Community Board 1, and the Newtown Creek Alliance.
