Reboot by Robert Pozarycki Looking to rev up “engines of opportunity,” the City Council released a report last week on ways to kick industrial and manufacturing into high gear across the five boroughs. The report, officially announced by City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito last Wednesday, Nov. 19, recommended that the city adopt new zoning codes and land use tools to encourage growth of new industries and keep existing ones in operation for years to come. “New York City’s industrial sector bolsters our local economies and provides strong stable jobs for our workforce,” Mark-Viverito said in a statement. “The proposals outlined in our report shed light on how we can harness the power of manufacturing to grow and diversify our city’s economic and community development, while balancing the need for livable neighborhoods.” “Preserving and creating manufacturing jobs and space where these jobs can exist is extremely important for my district and the city as a whole,” added City Council Member Antonio Reynoso, who represents the South of Myrtle Avenue (SOMA) Industrial Business Zone (IBZ) in Ridgewood. “Keeping manufacturing in the city encourages both economic development and sustainability, and it is important that we remember this as we consider what development looks like in this new administration. The manufacturing sector provides the high-quality jobs with low barriers to entry that allow families to stay and flourish in the city, and we want to make sure it is encouraged and expanded.” Titled “Engines of Opportunity,” the report pointed out that nearly 350,000 New Yorkers—approximately 10 percent of the city’s private sector -SEE INDUSTRIAL ON PG. 52- Burglaries Still Bug 83rd Precinct But Overall Crime Down For Yr., Says Commander by Noah Zuss During the 83rd Precinct community council meeting last Tuesday, Nov. 18 at the Bushwick stationhouse, the commanding officer told attendees that crime in the neighborhood has dropped in the last year, though residential burglaries continue to be a problem.

Across the country, including here in the city, service members and their families increasingly lack access to affordable, nutritious food. As a result, many have turned to food pantries and soup kitchens. Furthermore, financial constraints have forced veteran families to sacrifice food quality. “This drive will help ensure that kitchens and pantries around the city are equipped to meet demand from veterans and their families going into the holiday season,” said Ulrich.
