Astoria native Lorraine Grillo has been appointed as the city’s “Recovery Czar,” tasked with leading the COVID-19 rebuilding efforts across the five boroughs. In the newly created post, Grillo will lead the recovery war room at City Hall, where she will coordinate government agencies, nonprofits and the private sector.
“New York City was hit with an unprecedented health care and economic crisis,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “Together, we’re taking unprecedented steps to drive a recovery for all of us. As New York City’s first-ever Recovery Czar, Lorraine will cut through bureaucracy, coordinate across all agencies, and reach out to nonprofit and private partners to make sure our recovery is felt in every borough, every neighborhood and every block.”
Grillo will transition from her roles as Commissioner of the Department of Design and Construction and CEO of the city’s School Construction Authority where she has served since 1994.
“I build things. That’s what I do. And together, we are going to build a recovery that lifts up every New Yorker,” Grillo said. “Every job I’ve had serving the people of New York City, from responding to Hurricane Sandy to expanding universal pre-K, has required an intense coordination across different agencies, companies and nonprofits. That’s the same aggressive approach I’m going to take to lead a recovery for us all.”

Yay, more bureaucratic bloat!! How big is the budget, size of the staff? Mission statement? Defined goals? Timeline?
Don't bother us with those pesky details prole, just pay your taxes.
"Just pay your taxes" and add Shut up, Question nothing, Lock down, and wear your double diaper on your face ! That's America in NYC 2021...
Eh she is just another grifter looking for the next pay day.
When you vote for a dictator, you get a dictatorship.
Sounds like she's got some connections. This is her second know nothing do nothing job with the Democrats. Looks like she's getting a light ride from the local NYC Press, too.
Correction - Czarina.
Is she related to the ass who charged the police in DC?
Decades of voting for the "lesser of two evils" have brought us to the current shitshow.
Is she one of the Evil Stepford wives ?
Her and Alpha male make NYC what it is today ! A big SHITE HOLE !!!
Could anyone decode the mayor's newspeak utterances and report on exactly what her responsibilities will be? Recovering who or what when and how exactly??
