Other Potential Tenants In seeking other tenants, we will aim to attract minority- and women-owned businesses (MWBE) and locally-owned and operated businesses. Some of the potential tenants which satisfy these requirements and have expressed interest in the project include • Ambrosia, which focuses on the concept of circular economy, and creates products from food waste. • Radiator Labs, which turns old radiators into smart heating devices. • HOWgood, which analyzes food chains worldwide, and manages large scale databases helping businesses optimize their carbon footprints. • Other than these, we’ve initiated talks with 19 former tenants from Bush Terminal, which had to vacate their spaces in the terminal to make space for EDC’s ‘MadeInNYC’ initiative. EDC is helping these tenants find spaces around the neighborhood. Most of them are run by local owners, with local workers and supply networks. Some of them have expressed interest in buying out space in our building.
