The Navy Yard’s [revitalization](/blog/2016/03/08/visual-fyi-projects-at-brooklyn-navy-yard/) continues apace, and now you have [a chance](http://hornblower.force.com/survey/timbasurveys%5F%5Fsurvey?id=a1w31000003X8LuAAK&ref=bklyner.com) to win a year of free rides on the Citywide Ferry, which will be based out of the Navy Yard alongside the transformative Dock 72 project.

The [Citywide Ferry](/?s=ferry) is expected to reach full speed by 2018, and the fare is [expected](/blog/2016/05/05/citywide-ferry-significantly-raises-air-pollution-says-study/) to be the same $2.75 that the MTA charges. [Dock 72](/?s=dock+72) is a massive 675,000 square foot building being developed by the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, Boston Properties, and Rudin Development that’s expected to bring $380 million of private investment and over 4,000 jobs paying a living wage.

“This project is going to help bring ideas, innovators and start-ups to the yard, where they can scale up their businesses, hire more New Yorkers and manufacture their products right here in Brooklyn,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio.

There is some concern over the [potential impact on air quality](/blog/2016/05/05/citywide-ferry-significantly-raises-air-pollution-says-study/), but Brooklyn is hardly Lake Tahoe, so [click here](http://hornblower.force.com/survey/timbasurveys%5F%5Fsurvey?id=a1w31000003X8LuAAK&ref=bklyner.com) to try for free tix!
