Economic Development Corporation-EDC-Wall of Fame-Groundbreaking Shovels-NYC

We discovered this fun find at a recent meeting in the office of NYC’s Economic Development Corporation (EDC). They have a wall of fame of sorts containing the groundbreaking shovels of many of its projects. Here are a few, including the Barclay’s Center, Atlantic Yards, Fulton Fish Market and Metrotech:

Reminds us a little of the “5 time zones of NYC,” in the Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning & Sustainability (the clocks are supposed to be exactly the same but it’s funny nonetheless):
