It was great being on a panel with Lindsay Greene, Clare Newman, and Abby Jo Sigal to share how NYC is investing in inclusive, green economic development through the Harbor Climate Collaborative, a marquee initiative in the Mayor Eric Adams’s Green Economy Action Plan.

The leaders of the Harbor Climate Collaborative and NYC Mayor's Office of Talent and Workforce's Executive Director Abby Jo Sigal discussed how NYC is leading the charge in inclusive, green economic development through the recently released Green Economy Action Plan.

.Council Member Francisco Moya joined Mayor Eric Adams and soccer fans to celebrate the second phase of the redevelopment of Willets Point. The plan includes 1,400 units of permanently affordable housing, open green space, a 25,000-seat soccer stadium for New York City FC, and more!

As Chair of the Economic Development Committee I joined Mayor Eric Adams, Andrew Kimball & Council Member Francisco Moya for an announcement on the upcoming transformation of Willets Point!

I look forward to continuing to work on this project to ensure it is truly serving our local economy.

NYC must say ‘Yes to Housing’
nydailynews.com/2024/04/10/nyc…

'Mixed-use neighborhoods are the lifeblood of New York City. These enclaves — where people live, work, learn and play — contribute significantly to the city’s economy by supporting thousands of jobs, housing units, and businesses.'

We want to be a City of YES to economic opportunity!

When we update our zoning laws from 1961, more small businesses will be able to open, expand and succeed. No more bans on dancing or running a business from your home. It's time to help every neighborhood and New Yorker!
