Mayor Mamdani announces housing plan and budget priorities
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is rolling out zoning and land use initiatives to increase housing production in low-growth neighborhoods. His 2027 budget includes $122 million for new teachers and $1.5 billion for classroom construction, but the city comptroller says it falls $13.01 billion short of class size goals. The state budget includes a two-year extension of mayoral control over NYC schools and a 2% increase in state aid.
