The Brooklyn Navy Yard is getting a $140 million cash infusion to turn the colossal Building 77 into a manufacturing center. The plan was started under the Bloomberg administration, and the Navy Yard Corporation already raised $60 million for the project. The 1 million-square-foot facility will create 3,000 new jobs, and provide new space in a very in-demand location; the Navy Yard has been 100 percent leased for a decade. [Brooklyn Eagle; previously]
