NYC revival plan includes tourism, clean streets, pot sales
After two years of the pandemic battering New York City, Mayor Eric Adams is hoping to steer his city toward an economic revival by luring tourists back, beautifying the streets and embracing New York’s looming legal pot industry.
Adams, a Democrat who was elected last year on a pro-business, anti-crime message, unveiled an economic development plan Thursday that he said would usher in a “New New York.”
“We will never be the same. COVID has changed the game. And we must be prepared to win in the game,” Adams said.
