NEW YORK CITY-The city's program Digital NYC: Wired to the World has secured a lease with a full-service electronic healthcare company for space in the Brooklyn Information Technology Center in Sunset Park.

NEW YORK CITY-The first electronic technology company in the Brooklyn Information Technology Center will be joining telecommunications giants AT&T, Winstar Wireless, World Link and Nextel in the Sunset Park Technology District. UrbanHealthCare.com will take more than 1,700 sf in a deal secured by the city’s special program Digital NYC: Wired to the World, part of the effort to expand Silicon Alley throughout the five boroughs.

The award winning Digital NYC, having received the International Development Research Council’s Global Innovator’s Award last year, is an endeavor of the Economic Development Corp. The Sunset Park Technology District is one of seven districts in the city participating in the Digital NYC program. The program offers tax incentives and other financial assistance for locating within the city. The EDC also worked with the Southwest Brooklyn Industrial Development Corp.

The EDC released a statement from its president, Michael Carey, following confirmation of the lease deal. He credits the mayor for his efforts to support drawing high-tech and new media industries to the city and says they have risen to become an important part of the city’s economy in a very short time.
