A great morning to talk BMT, grocery stores, affordable housing & how to define a better New York!
Thx @NYCEDCPresident for joining us & we look forward to working together to strengthen the economy and create opportunity for New Yorkers 🍎
This morning, leaders from across New York’s business, labor, nonprofit and government sectors filled the Ziegfeld Ballroom for ABNY’s Power Breakfast with @NYCEDC President & CEO @NYCEDCPresident.
This is very exciting and long overdue. Looking forward to the findings of this much-needed effort - big kudos to @NYCDCAS Commish Yume Kitasei!
Exclusive: the Mamdani administration will take a swing at reforming NYC's civil service system — the first serious effort by any recent mayor to revamp the antiquated, 142-year-old system that critics say deters talent and worsens staffing shortages:

More affordable housing in more parts of the city!
Today, we’re announcing the 12 districts where the Affordable Housing Fast Track will soon take effect.
Starting Jan. 1, this voter-approved tool will make it easier to create affordable homes in the areas that add the least.
