The NYC Economic Development Corporation has hired a consultant at the downtown Manhattan heliport to track complaints and develop new tools to improve tracking.
- The consultant is working on potentially geofencing areas of the city to get a complete picture of all helicopter activity
- Instead of just categorizing individual complaints, they aim to understand all helicopter operations in the city
- New tools are being rolled out to improve complaint tracking beyond just looking at individual complaints as they come in
