For the first time during this pandemic, and in one of the first times in city history, New York City will host an interactive public meeting where the public is the focus.  “A View From You” is a new ongoing broadcast series that differs from other traditional town-halls, in that the format encourages public officials to ask questions of the audience in a manner that fosters actionable insights.    The purpose of the event is two-fold.  New Yorkers, especially small business owners, feel paralyzed when it comes to making decisions on how to reopen and want to better understand guidance, rules,  laws and recent legislation as they pertain to reopening. The City wants to provide them with answers, but also wants to get input from stakeholders (i.e. the attendees and participants of the program). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aviewfromyou/message
