Torres-Springer’s duties will include overseeing the city budget, supervising the other deputy mayors and maintaining her current portfolio of housing and economic development. She has played a key role pushing the City of Yes zoning reforms and major land-use projects in Willets Point and Governors Island.The moves boosted hopes that business initiatives won’t fall through the cracks as Adams navigates the year that remains of his first term while battling criminal charges that he solicited bribes and illegal campaign contributions in exchange for...
