Op-Ed | Adams administration neighborhood plans will bring more jobs, housing, and opportunity to the city

New York City is breaking jobs records over and over again, which is good news for every New Yorker. To keep up with this economic expansion, this administration has been actively working to rezone key neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs, advancing bold, transformational projects that will strengthen the local economy, improve quality of life, and help address our city’s longstanding housing needs.

This past week, we advanced two critical neighborhood plans in Jamaica, Queens and on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn that will deliver thousands of homes, new jobs, and hundreds of millions of dollars in new investments. Both plans serve as powerful reminders that government is still capable of delivering visionary and vital projects. These community-led proposals will ensure that working-class families have affordable neighborhoods to live, play, and thrive.
