Local government and business veteran Jamie Rubin, who currently chairs the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), was unanimously elected as the Regional Plan Association’s new board chair, the organization announced on Thursday.
Rubin — who is also chief investment officer of Aligned Climate Capital — will lead the century-old civic group, which conducts research and develops policies aimed at improving the New York Metropolitan area for the millions of New Yorkers who live here, for a three-year term. The group has drafted ambitious plans, such as its proposal to build the Triboro Line, which Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration retrofitted into the Interborough Express (IBX).
