Council Member Gale A. Brewer asks Mikelle Adgate from the New York City Economic Development Corporation if she supports federal legislation to shut down tourism-related helicopter flights over Manhattan and the other four boroughs. Adgate responds that they need to review such legislation holistically with various departments before commenting further.

  • Brewer states that federal legislation is the only way to restrict non-essential helicopter flights over New York City.
  • Adgate says they are still reviewing the proposed legislation and working closely with other departments on the issue.
  • Adgate does not directly indicate support or opposition to the legislation.
