New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing mounting criticism as his city's economic development commission is undergoing a significant overhaul. The "zombie commission," a nickname given to the long-dormant New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC), has been revamped, sparking concerns about its effectiveness and accountability. The EDC has a history of being plagued by inefficiencies and controversies, and the changes may be an attempt to revitalize its role in driving economic growth in the city. As Adams seeks to revitalize the city's economy, the fate of the EDC hangs in the balance, raising questions about whether its reformation will be enough to restore public trust.
