We launch today Season 3 with an interview of Clare Newman, the president and CEO of the Trust for Governors Island. Kat and Clare discuss many facets of sustainability and adaptability - New York City since Sandy, the current and future developments on Governors Island, its maritime facade and the many experiments that can be run from the Island.
Governors Island, located South of Manhattan and East of the Statue of Liberty, was originally used by the Lenape as a hunting & fishing camp, before becoming an US Army base then, from 1966 to the mid 90s, a base for 3,000 US Coast Guards.
Since 2010, the Island is run by the Trust for Governors Island, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created by the City of New York responsible for the planning, operations and ongoing development of Governors Island.
