Gov. Kathy Hochul’s message to the Brooklyn business community, finally on the mend after arguably the most difficult year-and-a-half it’s ever seen, was a simple one: while you may get knocked down, Brooklynites always get back up again, stronger than before.
“This business community was knocked down so hard. And yet you never, ever, ever gave up,” Hochul said in a keynote speech at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce’s annual gala in Tuesday night. “And I thank you for having that courage, the resiliency and that Brooklyn tough attitude that got us to where we are today.”
