Mayor Eric Adams announced his ambitious $115 billion budget plan for 2026 at Bayside High School, aiming to improve life for New Yorkers through significant investments in public safety, education, and quality of life. Dubbed 'The Best Budget Ever', the plan includes $1.4 billion to protect key programs, and it focuses on comprehensive support for families, including expanding access to after-school programs and increasing funding for education. The budget also targets law enforcement reforms and commits to hiring more teachers to enhance the public school experience.
This budget is a testament to our commitment to making New York City safer, more affordable, and the best place to raise a family. From prioritizing access to child care and launching 'After-School for All' to investing in permanent funding for libraries, CUNY, and our world-class institutions that make New York City what it is, to tackling quality-of-life issues and making our streets safer, the $1.4 billion we're investing to protect and lift up critical programs will make lives better for families across all five boroughs.
The 2026 budget not only addresses immediate safety concerns but also establishes a pathway for sustainable improvements in education, public safety, and overall affordability in New York City.
