New York City’s comptroller recently met with small business owners from Brooklyn, including Murray Hill, to discuss the issues they face on a day-to-day basis.
Comptroller Scott Stringer and a panel made up of 11 others hosted the hearing by the Red Tape Commission. They talked with the business people about a range of concerns including sanitation, an outdated 311 system, and parking, among other things.
According to Stringer, the goal of the meeting was to find out what concerns exist in the area and what those who work there feel impedes its economic growth. He remarked that the knowledge gained from the session will be used to help formulate a plan to reduce “red tape” in the government and remove roadblocks to the economy’s expansion.
Almost 100 business owners from throughout the borough came out to the session, and were given an opportunity to have their say. One of the topics covered was 311 service, and many of those who attended felt that it needs to be updated to keep up with today’s technology.
Other issues that were brought to the table included sanitation, a lack of office space, street vendors who operate without a license, and a need for more parking spaces. Once the commission has completed its mandate, a catalog printing company can produce bound Copies of its report for distribution to the public and any other stakeholders.
Anyone who was not able to attend the session is invited to have their say at Comptroller.nyc.gov.
