The Department of City Planning aggregates information about facilities and program sites that are owned, operated, funded, licensed or certified by a City, State, or Federal agency in the City of New York into a central database called the City Planning Facilities Database (FacDB). FacDB aggregates more than 35,000 records from 43 different public data sources provided by City, State, and Federal agencies. This database and its interactive map build upon City Planning's decades-old work on the Selected Facilities and Program Sites Database, which this new product replaces.
