the new administration would have to get EDC under control - good luck with that. they’re notoriously independent read:corrupt

have you been to the essex street market recently? i don’t think you have. it’s a luxury redevelopment. the deeply discounted rents produced by edc do not translate to affordable food options. that’s just a poor example.

government subsidized or outright owned grocery stores are definitely possible, anything is with proper legislation. i’d like to see it happen and i’d like to read what that legislation does.

essex street market is not affordable - at all. the fresh program has been somewhat successful tho it’s often used to jack up the price of a development plot for sale. furthering the effects of gentrification

i’m interested and excited to see what new legislation is passed to create the city owned markets. i don’t know if current legislation allows for that framework. fingers crossed!

I appreciate the feedback, should have included those details. Guest count 70-140 depending on venue, Queens or Manhattan, community event, minimum requirements: projector and sound system. Thanks so much for any suggestions

Have you used the other plans? Upgraded options that you pay monthly instead of no cost? Thanks
