New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced this week that he will deliver his fourth State of the City address on January 9, 2025, at The Apollo Theater in Harlem. In the address, Mayor Adams will highlight his administration’s achievements over the past three years, the current state of the city, and his vision to make New York City safer and more affordable for working-class families.
“Whether it’s taking thousands of illegal guns off our streets, shattering affordable housing records, or putting billions of dollars back into the pockets of New Yorkers, our administration has fought every day to create a safer, more affordable city for working-class New Yorkers,” said Mayor Adams. “Thanks to our efforts, New York City is not only back; we are better than ever.
“But as we look to the future, we know there is even more we can do to uplift working-class families across the five boroughs, protect our streets and subways, tackle the cost of rent, create more housing, and put even more money back into New Yorkers’ pockets,” he continued. “On January 9, at the historic Apollo, we’ll present our vision for an even safer and more affordable New York City in 2025 and the decades to come.”
The address will focus on the administration’s progress in improving public safety, expanding affordable housing, and supporting economic stability for New Yorkers while laying out plans to build on those efforts. The Apollo Theater, a landmark of Harlem’s cultural and historical heritage, serves as the symbolic venue for this pivotal moment in the city’s trajectory under Mayor Adams’ leadership.
