Press Release

"I am proud to announce Queens is amongst the first in the nation to tap the historic funding I secured in the Inflation Reduction Act to expand urban forests. This federal investment means cleaner air, a better environment, improved quality of life, and rooting out historic inequities that have been present in NYC neighborhoods. I fought hard to plant this funding in the Inflation Reduction Act so that New York City could have access to funding needed to breathe new life into underserved communities."
