Stringer launches commission to reduce red tape for small NYC businesses
Bed-Stuy BID’s Lambert is co-chair
New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer has launched a Red Tape Commission made up of small businesses owners and regulatory experts, he told the Association for a Better New York (ABNY) in an address on Monday.
The commission, designed to minimize bureaucratic red tape, will be co-chaired by Michael Lambert, executive director of the Bed-Stuy Gateway BID, and Jessica Lappin, president of the Downtown Alliance.
Lambert is responsible for planning, project management and economic development for the Fulton–Nostrand commercial corridor, which is home to 373 businesses, a large number of which are small and locally-owned. He is also co-chair of the New York City BID Association.
