Jill Colvin

Mayor Bill de Blasio will mark his first 100 days on the job with a speech tomorrow at Cooper Union celebrating his accomplishment so far and laying out his far-reaching priorities going forward.

Ahead of the speech, First Deputy Mayor Tony Shorris released a memo touting the “Recent Administration Accomplishments” and previewing the issues Mr. de Blasio is expected to address.

“Over the next few months, the administration will deliver more actions,” he wrote, “including an affordable housing plan to create and preserve nearly 200,000 affordable units, steps to raise wages and workplace benefits, reduce fines on small businesses, and increase broadband access to some of our most neglected communities. And we will ensure the government continues to tick with increased efficiency and professionalism, focusing on the best possible delivery and implementation of core city services.”

“There’s a lot more work to be done to make us one city, rising together. That’s the Mayor’s mission – and these last three months are only a sign of things to come,” he added.
