Q&A

Epstein asks for two-week update

New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 0:23:39 · 48 sec

Epstein asks for a two-week update on available contracts and job types, saying real data will help the Council understand whether the program is creating 5,000 jobs or five. Harry agrees to follow up in two weeks.

Harvey D. Epstein

Is that like two weeks, three weeks, six months, a year and a half?

Douglas Harry

I don't think it'll be a year and a half, Councilmember, but I do think it really depends on where these contracts are.

Harvey D. Epstein

Can you just give us an update in two weeks to say, this is the information we have to date.

Harvey D. Epstein

These are the contracts that we have available.

Harvey D. Epstein

This is what we know so far.

Harvey D. Epstein

These are the types of jobs we're seeing available.

Harvey D. Epstein

Because I think the real data is going to help us.

Harvey D. Epstein

I mean, I don't want to speak for the chair, but I think...

Harvey D. Epstein

If it's 5,000 jobs versus five jobs, it's a very different conversation.

Harvey D. Epstein

If it's 5,000 jobs in a variety of industries, it's a very different conversation about our role and how we can be helpful.
