Brooklyn Navy Yard Ends Lease with Easy Aerial, Drone Supplier to Israel
DEFENSE
Easy Aerial, a NYC drone manufacturer supplying technology to Israel, has been evicted from the Brooklyn Navy Yard after the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation decided not to renew its lease. The decision follows protests from groups like 'Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard' and reflects a shift in city leadership under Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Critics, including State Assemblyman Kalman Yeger, argue that this move could have negative economic impacts.
