On the broader goal of economic justice, the chattering classes have been buzzing with the question of who Mayor Mamdani will appoint as his President of the NYC Economic Development Corporation. In the aftermath of the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, the NYC PDC was a new instrument to stimulate economic development as the city recovered. Since its 2012 merger with the NYC Economic Growth Corporation, the EDC has been primarily associated with public-private partnerships to drive economic development. Central to the future of EDC is Julie Su, the mayor’s new Deputy for Economic Justice, with a mandate that sees EDC as “critical” to the administration’s focus on “Economic Justice.” It’s a reasonable idea, but hardly an example of massive economic development, though perhaps a signal of the economic equity the administration hopes to bring about.
