Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to lay out a plan in her state budget proposal that would allow New York City to require its contractors to hire “economically disadvantaged” job candidates — including, in some cases, workers from impoverished communities, according to details of the proposal provided to Gothamist by the governor’s office.
Among the proposals Hochul will include is a measure pushed by Mayor Eric Adams, according to the governor’s office. In, For building service and construction contracts, those goals could include that a number of workers come from “economically disadvantaged regions,” according to the proposal. For other industries, contractors would have to hire a certain number of “economically disadvantaged candidates.” Those that don’t comply could be subject to civil penalties.
The measure is one of likely dozens of policy proposals expected to be in Hochul’s budget plan, which will lay out how the governor would prefer to distribute billions of taxpayer dollars earmarked for education, health care and other weighty sectors., including a complex housing strategy she says would help create 800,000 new units over the next 10 years in a state that faces a serious housing crunch for its workforce.
