Adams Administration Neighborhood Plans Will Bring More Jobs, Housing & Opportunity To New York City
New York City is breaking jobs records over and over again, which is good news for every New Yorker. To keep up with this economic expansion, this administration has been actively working to rezone key neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs, advancing bold, transformational projects that will strengthen the local economy, improve quality of life, and help address our city’s longstanding housing needs.
This past week, we advanced two critical neighborhood plans in Jamaica, Queens and on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn that will deliver thousands of homes, new jobs, and hundreds of millions of dollars in new investments. Both plans serve as powerful reminders that government is still capable of delivering visionary and vital projects. These community-led proposals will ensure that working-class families have affordable neighborhoods to live, play, and thrive.
Building on over two years of intensive community engagement, the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan would update zoning to spur the creation of over 12,000 new homes — including approximately 4,000 permanently income-restricted affordable homes — to a 230-block area of this transit-accessible neighborhood. In Brooklyn, the Atlantic Avenue offers a similarly transformative commitment to building more housing, creating 4,600 new homes — including 1,440 permanently income-restricted, affordable homes — and 2,800 permanent jobs to a roughly 21-block stretch of Atlantic Avenue in Central Brooklyn, as well as neighboring blocks in Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Both plans understand that to be the best place to raise a family, we need to make holistic investments beyond…

Both plans understand that to be the best place to raise a family, we need to make holistic investments beyond just housing. That is why both plans invest in commercial and industrial space, creating 7,000 jobs and new economic opportunities in Jamaica and 2,800 jobs and new economic opportunities in the Atlantic Avenue neighborhood. Additionally, the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan also includes strategic investments and infrastructure upgrades, including streetscape enhancements along Jamaica Avenue, $300 million for sewer improvements, transit access and open space, job training, and support for cultural institutions and faith-based organizations. And, for the first time in over 60 years, updated zoning would allow for new housing and commercial opportunities in the section of…

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of various industries worldwide, revolutionizing sectors such as healthcare, finance, and education. As AI technology continues to advance, it has led to significant shifts in the job market, both in terms of job creation and job displacement. The conversation around AI’s impact on employment is becoming more urgent, as experts and policymakers weigh the pros and cons of this rapidly evolving technology.
The Rise of AI in Key Sectors
Artificial intelligence has already had a profound impact on several industries. For example, in the healthcare sector, AI has made it possible to diagnose diseases with greater accuracy, predict patient outcomes, and assist in robotic surgeries. In the financial world, AI algorithms are used to detect fraud, manage risks, and assist in investment strategies. Educational platforms have also integrated AI, providing personalized learning experiences for students.
However, as AI becomes more capable, it has raised concerns about its potential to replace human jobs. Tasks that once required human labor are increasingly being automated by AI systems. For instance, AI-powered chatbots are now capable of handling customer service inquiries, and in manufacturing, robots are replacing workers in assembly lines.
The Shift in the Workforce
A major concern surrounding the rise of AI is the potential for widespread job displacement. A report from the World Economic Forum estimates that by 2025, AI and automation could replace 85 million jobs globally. These include positions in industries such as transportation, retail, and administrative support. However, this shift is not all doom and gloom, as the same report also highlights the creation of 97 million new roles, especially in fields like data analysis, machine learning,…

The landscape of work is going through a seismic shift, with remote work becoming increasingly entrenched in the professional world. Notably, 83% of the global workforce considers a hybrid work model—combining remote and on-site work—to be ideal.
This transition necessitates a robust toolkit that extends beyond the traditional office setup, ensuring productivity, collaboration, and security are maintained, regardless of location. Equipping yourself with the right tools is not just about keeping pace; it is about thriving in this evolving model.
This article discusses the seven essential tools that will empower remote workers in 2025, enhance efficiency, and safeguard digital workspaces.
Why Equip Yourself for Remote Work?

Studies reveal that remote work tools can boost team communication by up to 30%, alongside streamlining workflow management to enhance productivity. For businesses, the benefits are clear: enhanced collaboration and faster information retrieval.
Organizations using platforms like Google Workspace have reported up to a 30% improvement in collaboration and a 40% increase in the speed of finding necessary information.
