Abstract: This paper reviews the recent history of economic development policy in New York City and suggests four new growth with equity strategies: Replace discretionary and as-of-right subsidies to firms with investments designed to stimulate labor demand, including investment in public infrastructure; Use available public levers, including standards attached to economic development subsidies, to increase training, earning, and economic mobility opportunities for unemployed and low-wage workers, and connect them with the economic development agenda; 2 Wolf-Powers Strengthen the city's core blue-collar employment base by bringing a deliberate equity vision to the management of the citys physical assets, especially industrial land; and Activate a career pathways system that links secondary schooling both with post-secondary education and training and with the labor market, particularly the new jobs that are being created
