Vibrant neighborhoods give New Yorkers places to live, work and shop, but zoning rules from 1961 make it too hard to find office space or open new stores.

The City of Yes for Economic Opportunity is about updating the rules, so any area can have it all!

brooklynpaper.com/city-of-yes-zo…

We should say YES to:

⭐️ Filling storefronts
⭐️ Creating spaces for businesses
⭐️ Updating rules from 1961
⭐️ Making neighborhoods convenient and thriving

The City of Yes for Economic Opportunity will improve outdated zoning and make it all possible!
