Q&A

Thomas-Henry on creating new public markets in other districts

New York City Council · May 29, 2026 · starts 5:32:01 · 39 sec

Thomas-Henry asks about EDC's process for creating additional public markets. Peck clarifies EDC inherited existing markets and didn't create them, but is open to conversations about exploring options.

Virginia Maloney

Your public markets, La Marqueta, for example, what is the process for EDC to look at of creating additional public markets in other districts?

Jeanne Peck

Yeah, just so you understand, these markets existed for a very long time, and EDC has taken over the management for it.

Jeanne Peck

We didn't, like, create these markets on our own.

Virginia Maloney

Okay.

Jeanne Peck

So, but I think, you know, again, we are happy to have any conversations if you're interested in exploring that option for your district.

Virginia Maloney

Definitely am, but thank you.

Linda Lee

And of course, Chair Maloney.
