As New York City struggles with the recession, infrastructure development and renewal promise new jobs and long-term growth. New transportation, energy, high technology, and communication infrastructure projects are being planned and funded. How quickly will they provide new jobs? Are they doing so already? What are the prospects for long-term structural improvements to the citys economy? What is missing from current plans?

These questions will be addressed in remarks by: * Christopher O. Ward, executive director of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey * Seth W. Pinsky, president of the New York City Economic Development Corporation.

The speakers will be followed by a panel discussion with: * Joan Byron, director of the Sustainability and Environmental Justice Initiative at the Pratt Center for Community Development. * Kathryn S. Wylde, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City. * Robert Yaro, president of the Regional Plan Association.

The panel will be moderated by Daniel Massey, a reporter for Crains New York Business.
This event is supported by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Additional support has been provided by the Sirus Fund and the Milano Foundation.
