Infrastructure Needs to Keep NYC on Top

James Nelson

NEW YORK CITY—In the latest installment of the Full Nelson, James Nelson of Cushman & Wakefield sat down with Angela Pinsky, executive director of ABNY, to discuss New York City infrastructure, affordable housing and taxes.

James Nelson: Angela, please tell us about ABNY and its mission?

Angela Pinsky: ABNY is the Association for Better New York. We are a membership organization of employers that represent the full spectrum of New York City’s employment base. Our members are corporations, not for profits, institutions like educational and health institutions and quasi-governmental organizations. ABNY promotes policies and programs that make New York a better place to live, work and visit.

Nelson:  Infrastructure is a huge part of keeping New York competitive with other global cities and really at the core of this are our subway, rail and airport systems. What do we need to do to improve upon these systems?
