Mayor Eric Adams announced his intent to meet with District 16 education stakeholders in central Brooklyn following the abrupt dismissal of Superintendent Brendan Mims. The dismissal sparked protests among parents and local officials, who seek clarity on the decision. Adams emphasized the importance of the district and expressed optimism about resolving the situation. In addition, he discussed the halt of the Empire 1 wind farm project, highlighting his plans to re-engage stakeholders and unions to push for its revival, underlining its significance for renewable energy and job creation.
Adams stated at his Tuesday press conference that he's hoping to come to a resolution soon, demonstrating his commitment to the community amid the superintendent's sudden dismissal.
The project is crucial. The wind farm that we're creating was a vision and a dream I had since my days as borough president,â reflecting Adams' long-term investment in renewable energy.
This is real energy, and we're gonna continue to communicate and speak with them, and we're gonna get our unions engaged, because these are union jobs.
District 16 is crucial, and we're gonna sit down, and we're gonna explain to them what we're doing, why we're doing, and we're sure we're gonna come to a resolution.
