As this phase of engagement and archaeology comes to an end, the focus is now on assembling the right team to plan, design, and build the mixed-use development and memorial—creating a physical space to honor the legacy of the Harlem African Burial Ground and those who were laid to rest there. In December 2025, NYCEDC and the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) began a public procurement process to select a nonprofit operator for the future cultural education center, soliciting proposals from cultural and community groups. Learn more about the RFP for the Cultural Education Center.
Following the selection of the operator, the City will issue another procurement to search for a developer team to manage the build-out of the mixed-use program. This developer will work closely with NYCEDC, the cultural education center operator, and the HABGI to bring the vision of the site to life.
