Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Members of the New York City Council say they’re concerned that thousands of New Yorkers, who work in factories and other parts of the industrial sector will lose their jobs if the Adams administration continues to push an environmental agenda without considering any potential job losses.
“These are careers where there’s a high level of skill and expertise and craft that are put into producing all sorts of things that have built this city,” said Councilmember Sandy Nurse, who represents Cypress Hills, Bushwick and other parts of East New York. “And so when someone says something like the industrial manufacturing sectors are obsolete, or will be obsolete, it’s a lack of vision. It’s a lack of planning.
“It has not escaped me that the state of New York has ambitious goals to meet our climate justice guidelines by 2040, and the industrial area has to play a part,” Councilmember Jennifer Gutiérrez, who represents Williamsburg, Bushwick and Ridgewood, said.
