Statement Responding to Mayor Adams's State of the City Address

share

A statement from RPA President & CEO Tom Wright:

“New York City’s long-term prosperity is crucial to the entire nation’s ongoing economic recovery. Today, Mayor Adams reaffirmed his commitment to the City’s future with bold ideas. We applaud Mayor Adams’ plan to address the City’s housing and affordability crises head-on by updating obsolete zoning codes and streamlining permitting to increase housing production across all five boroughs, as outlined in his ​‘City of Yes’ initiative. We are also pleased to see his commitment to making the Open Restaurants program permanent, adding significant open space in every borough, expanding and connecting bike lanes, and investing in off-shore wind. We look forward to working with the Adams Administration to deliver on these priorities in the coming year.”
