Regina Myer is President of Brooklyn Bridge Park, responsible for the creation and construction of Brooklyn Bridge Park for the City of New York. The 85-acre Park stretches approximately 1.3 miles along the East River from Atlantic Avenue to north of the Manhattan Bridge, transforming the downtown Brooklyn waterfront into a civic space for all New Yorkers. BBP is one of the most significant public investments on the waterfront outside of Manhattan in the 21st century. Prior to BBP, Ms. Myer was senior vice president for planning and design at the Hudson Yards Development Corporation, and the Brooklyn Borough Director for the New York City Planning Department. She received her BA and Masters in Urban Planning from the University of Michigan.
