Mayor Bloomberg to Deliver Speech on PlaNYC

5:58 PM EDT on April 20, 2007

In a widely anticipated speech, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg will release PlaNYC, the culmination of months of public meetings, feedback, and studies that have resulted in a set of proposed initiatives that will allow New York to meet the challenges faced as our population grows by nearly 1 million between now and 2030. PlaNYC will also allow us to meet the Mayor’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30%. The breadth and scope of the proposals have generated national and international press attention.
