With the help of city leaders, Bill de Blasio said a full rebuild will take about 20 months: “We don’t just need a recovery, we need a transformation,” the Mayor explained. “We need to build a better and more just society than the one we left behind.”
As ABC News reports, the Mayor stressed that it is extremely important that the city’s approach to recovery must address several things including the “structural racism,” “painful inequalities” and disparities that have been “laid bare” during the coronavirus crisis.
“Recovery means to me getting back not just to a point where life feels more normal but getting back to a point of strength, additionally addressing the underlying issues we still need to address in the city,” de Blasio added.
He went on to explain when this move will officially begin:
“We restart when we have evidence,” he said. “Anybody, any state, any city that doesn’t pay attention to those factual health care indicators that evidence is endangering themselves and their people and the whole idea of having a restart to have an economy again, recover, it could all backfire because the disease reasserts,” ABC News quotes.
He later added,
“We have to get people back to work. This is central to everything. So many people are clamoring to get back to work. It’s safe. I want people back to work. I want to restart our economy. I want to see people back to work whether they work on Wall Street or a bodega. We need everyone to go back to work. We have to do it in the right way.”
Here’s the outlined recovery plan that advisory councils will help work on:
Large Business
Small Business
Public Health and Health care
Education and Vocational Training
Arts, Culture, Tourism
Labor
Nonprofits and Social Services
Faith-Based Community
