Authors: Grieve, Jack (AUTHOR)
Source: Crain's New York Business. 6/15/2026, Vol. 42 Issue 22, p3-3. 1p.

Geographic Terms: New York (N.Y.)
Abstract: The article focuses on Mayor Zohran Mamdani's newly launched Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE), which aims to identify ways to streamline city government operations to reduce delays and costs affecting businesses, nonprofits, and public projects. While the commission is legally required to review the entire city charter, its initial hearings have prioritized improving efficiency in infrastructure, small business support, and government technology, with the broader goal of making city services more affordable and accessible. Commission leaders emphasize that efficiency efforts are intended to support affordable housing, childcare, and transit rather than deregulation or budget cuts. The commission plans to hold multiple hearings across New York City and submit potential charter amendments for the November ballot, working within a tight timeline to address bureaucratic challenges that impact both economic development and residents’ quality of life.
