A group of Councilmembers rallied Tuesday behind a bill that would trigger a study of the city’s industrial areas with an eye toward protecting manufacturing jobs and bringing green industry to New York City.
The legislation would require several city agencies to review NYC’s 16 Industrial Business Zones and produce a citywide plan. The agencies would be required to collaborate and come up with a series of development goals, as well as to make recommendations as to new landuse designations and local hiring strategies.
