INTRODUCTION
As a feature of a new 315-unit workforce housing development situated in the Metro-North train hub of the City of Mount Vernon, New York, the project developers are offering an opportunity for a non-for-profit partner to program over 11,000 square feet of recreational and multi-purpose space. We envision the space to serve as a gymnasium, multipurpose classroom, office, and learning space. As such, we are seeking experienced and proven partners to utilize and manage programs within the space for building residents and the broader Mount Vernon youth community. The scope of the opportunity includes:
- Leasing 1,100 square feet of community office space at below market cost
- Providing programming on approximately 2,000 square feet of amenity space and over 8,000 square feet of recreational space for the residents of the new development
- Making such programs available to local youth to benefit the broader community of Mount Vernon
National and/or locally based service providers of enrichment programs are encouraged to respond to this RFEI for the occupancy and utilization of the space. Long term occupancy and space utilization is envisioned and encouraged.
Respondents should demonstrate:
