In his second State of the City address on Thursday, Mayor Eric Adams laid out his vision for a 'Working People's Agenda' that will guide his administration as his sophomore year in office gets underway.
Adams delivered the annual speech at the Queens Theater in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, not even a full year after his first, pandemic-delayed State of the City at Brooklyn’s Kings Theater last April. During Thursday’s address, hizzoner laid out plans to get more New Yorkers into the workforce, take over 1,000 repeat offenders off city streets and rezoning areas like Midtown Manhattan to construct more housing under four pillars: jobs, safety, housing, and care.
In order to start chipping away at that inequity, Adams unveiled a new so-called “Apprenticeship Accelerator” program to place 30,000 people in apprenticeships by 2030. The accelerator aims to provide assistance to employers, educational institutions and labor unions in being able to offer more apprenticeship opportunities, according to City Hall.
“Nurses are the hands, heart and soul of our healthcare system,” the mayor said. “We will never forget you and we will continue to supply you with the resources you need.” “Time after time you see crime after crime from a core group of repeat offenders,” the mayor said. “We know they are and we need to get them off our streets.”
