"I had a productive meeting with President Trump this afternoon. I'm looking forward to building more housing in New York City, Mamdani wrote in the post directly after the visit. The mayor took him up on his offer and went to DC today to pitch him about a possible project in NYC that could deliver one of the biggest federal investments in housing of the past 50 years."
"The president was very enthusiastic about the idea that we pitched him, said Calvello. He said that during Mamdani's last in-person meeting with the President, Trump asked him to come back with some big ideas on how we can build things together here in New York City, and that's what he did today."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with President Trump in the Oval Office to pitch a major housing development project at Sunnyside Yards in Queens. The proposal aims to construct 12,000 units of affordable housing with an estimated $21 billion in federal grants. During the meeting, Trump was presented with mock-up Daily News front pages contrasting Ford's 1975 rejection of New York City with a headline reading "Trump to City: Let's Build." Mamdani's office reported that Trump responded enthusiastically to the proposal and had previously encouraged the mayor to return with ambitious ideas for building projects in New York City. The meeting represents a significant opportunity for federal investment in housing development.
