Briefly

The co-founder of Whitmans Restaurant emphasizes the need for growth strategies in New York's neighborhoods following the pandemic. He advocates for the Hudson Yards West community hub project, which would include the Wynn Resort and Casino, and believes that such developments can rejuvenate local economies. Despite a degree of recovery in the restaurant industry, challenges remain, such as shuttered storefronts and a lack of tourists. He argues that the project would create jobs, enhance local infrastructure, and ultimately benefit not only businesses like his but also the broader community.
Building a new community hub at Hudson Yards West could significantly boost local businesses reliant on foot traffic, ensuring more vibrancy in the area.
The Hudson Yards project has transformed the neighborhood into a bustling hub, and expanding it will enhance job opportunities and improve quality of life for New Yorkers.
