What, if anything, will the replacement of Mr Cuomo with Ms Hochul mean for
Roosevelt Island residents who are governed by the Roosevelt Island Operating
Corp (RIOC) which is
controlled by the NY State Governor’s Office? Will there be any staff or policy
changes?
Time will tell but note that Lieutenant Governor Hochul is no stranger to
Roosevelt Island.
