Sprawling digital billboards with flashing lights — once the bane of many Co-Op City residents’ existence — cannot be built there again, thanks to a new law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Dec. 22.
State Sen. Jamaal Bailey co-sponsored the bill with Assemblymember Michael Benedetto, both of whom represent districts that include Co-op City. City Councilmember Kevin Riley, who also represents the area, brought a resolution in September in support of the bill.
