With yesterday’s election ushering in new city leadership, New York stands at a turning point to reimagine its economy around working people, small businesses, and the communities that sustain them. NYCETC CEO Gregory J. Morris reflects on the path forward and the opportunity to shape a fairer, more connected city:
“New Yorkers have spoken—and with this election, a new era begins. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has reminded us that our city’s power lives with working people, small businesses, and the neighborhoods that refuse to be written out of New York’s story.
We’re ready to partner with the new administration to refocus and revive our dormant economy while expanding opportunity, strengthening local pathways to good jobs, and ensuring affordability for all who call New York home.
This is a moment to harness the resilience that defines New York, and to build a future where growth and opportunity advance together, grounded in dignity, integrity, and shared purpose.”
