NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Thanks to its close proximity to New York, New Rochelle has a long history of being a creative hub: Terrytoon Studios in our downtown being a prime example. We have both the space to accommodate creative technology equipment and close proximity to the City. This makes us very appealing to those in the creative tech industry. And creative tech/immersive media is poised for big growth. This means good jobs in a distinctive niche, another innovative thriving creative community for New Rochelle that will attract a new cohort of professionals to the area (translating into additional foot traffic for our downtown businesses), and potential school STEM/STEAM partnerships that benefit everyone. This industry will also ideally help with creating a unique sense of place…by working with these digital creatives, we hope to spark exciting and inspiring activities for the community in our public spaces.
