Menin warned that New York City is losing jobs to states like Texas and Florida and emphasized the urgent need for Mayor Zohran Mamdani to appoint a permanent head of the Economic Development Corporation (EDC), which has been without leadership since January. She has expanded the City Council’s economic development efforts through the Office for Advancing Partnerships and Economic Expansion (Apex) to improve business outreach and public-private partnerships. Menin also addressed issues including small business fines, proactive land use planning, housing voucher reforms, the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, school buffer zone legislation, and a proposal to rebuild libraries with affordable housing above them.
