Maloney says EDC passed $20 million to the host committee and the administration added $15 million, with $9 million for fan zones. She questions the host committee's $3.5 billion regional impact figure and its methodology.

Virginia Maloney

So we still also don't have a meaningful account of where exactly all of the money went.

Virginia Maloney

In February, EDC told us that it had passed $20 million through to the host committee and committed to sharing a breakdown of how that money was spent along with the agreement to the host committee.

Virginia Maloney

So we're hoping to get more specifics on the agreement.

Virginia Maloney

We did receive a breakdown of the additional $15 million that the Madamian administration added.

Virginia Maloney

Of that $15 million, $9 million was allocated to fan zones, and we want to understand how that was distributed across all five boroughs.

In August, the host committee reported around $3.5 billion in regional economic impact.

Virginia Maloney

That number covers both New York and New Jersey together.

Virginia Maloney

So we're trying to understand the host committee's methodology.
