The Governors Island Preservation and Education
Corporation is responsible for the planning,
redevelopment and ongoing operations for 150 acres
of Governors Island. The National Park Service owns
and operates an additional 22 acres of the Island
designated last year as the Governors Island
National Monument. A subsidiary of the Empire State
Development Corporation, GIPEC is overseen by a
Board of Directors appointed equally by the Governor
and Mayor of New York.
GIPEC is working closely with a wide array of
constituent groups, including the National Park
Service, business, community and civic groups to
foster new ideas for development of Governors Island
and to enhance the Island's role as a vital and
integral part of New York City and the surrounding
region. GIPEC seeks to make Governors Island a
destination with great public open space and
heritage tourism attractions, as well as education,
conference and cultural arts facilities.
