As NYC Hits Record Highs in Employment and Labor Force Participation, NYCEDC Continues to Lead the Way in Economic Development

Advancing Transformative Projects Across New York City: From the Redevelopment of Brooklyn Marine Terminal to the Revitalization of Staten Island’s North Shore, to the Willets Point Transformation

NEW YORK, NY—New York City Economic Corporation (NYCEDC) today celebrated major accomplishments and project milestones in each borough over the past year and furthered its mission to create a vibrant, inclusive, and globally competitive economy for all New Yorkers. NYCEDC achieved numerous milestones and standout successes across its key areas of focus: strengthening business confidence; growing innovation sectors, focusing on equity; building neighborhoods where people live, learn, work, and play; and delivering sustainable infrastructure. NYCEDC made significant strides in advancing the goals of the Adams Administration’s ‘Harbor of the Future,’ a transformative effort to reimagine New York City’s waterfront and drive 21st-century growth and innovation.

“From day one, our administration has focused on creating a safer, more affordable New York City. In 2024, we continued to deliver on that vision and ‘Get Stuff Done’ for working-class New Yorkers,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “Thanks to our extraordinary public servants, America’s safest big city got even safer this year, with overall crime down and thousands of illegal guns, mopeds, and ghost cars taken off city streets. We passed historic legislation to turn New York into a ‘City of Yes,’ shattered affordable housing records once again, and put billions of dollars back into New Yorkers’ pockets. We broke records for the most jobs and small businesses in city history and moved millions of trash bags off our sidewalks and into containers. But we know that there is even more we can do to continue to uplift working-class families. As we look to the future, our administration remains committed to keeping New Yorkers safe and making our city more affordable for the millions of New Yorkers who call our city home.”

“Citywide, the year 2024 was a time of execution and delivery of transformative economic development projects that create jobs, strengthen the city's economy in the long term, and uplift New Yorkers today,” said New York City First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer. “New York City has never had more jobs, labor force participation is at an all-time high, and we are clear-eyed about our mission in 2025. We will advance projects and programs that generate employment, promote affordability, and bolster our undebatable standing as the greatest city in the world.”

“With record high jobs and workforce participation, 2024 has been a monumental year for New York City’s economy with NYCEDC making historic investments throughout the five boroughs,” said New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President & CEO Andrew Kimball. “This year, we've launched the first-ever Green Economy Action Plan, alongside a new vision for transforming our waterfront into global hubs for the green economy, tech, and life sciences. We celebrated huge milestones within transformative projects, like our groundbreaking for ‘Etihad Park,’ the 25,000-seat soccer stadium at Willets Point and launching a new visioning process for the transformation of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a modern 21st-century port. Through several impact reports, NYCEDC has shown outstanding success at strengthening business confidence and building sustainable neighborhoods where people can live, work, learn, and play. We look forward to building on this year's achievements and working alongside our partners in government and the private sector as we head into 2025.”
