Chair Sherman responds on infrastructure metrics and community engagement

Thank you.

And thank you for sharing the Creedmoor example.

So we've heard loud and clear today, certainly, that capital investment and understanding capital needs is critical.

And that will be front and center in the way that we approach all of our work, but certainly the ways in which we assess opportunities within these affordable housing fast track districts.

Public engagement as well will be critical.

I would just note that the fast track does not remove community board review, borough president review, public hearings.

Those processes are still in place and part of our ULIP process.

And any engagement that happens pre-certification, including engagement with council members, and a lot of that happens informally, that that would still continue.

And we would certainly encourage that as those projects start to move into public review.

In terms of metrics, I think we can get back to you with that.

There are certainly certain measures of analysis that are part of environmental impact studies that we would use to have assessment.

There's also the metrics that our capital agencies use overall to understand state of good repair and capacity.

And so I wouldn't want to give that to you just offhand, but we can certainly share that with you.

And I don't know if there were any additional questions that I may have missed.

The one thing I would note is that affordable housing projects that are in flight, like some of the work that you.

you've mentioned, those will be part of the calculation in the next time we refresh this analysis and this methodology.

And so we know that there are affordable housing projects that may be permitted during this period and start to move forward, which also may change the rate across the affordable housing fast track neighborhoods as we go into the next five year cycle.
