New York Chapters Hold Legislative Day at the State Capitol

NAIOP’s New York City Metro and Upstate chapters convened a legislative day in Albany to lobby for the association’s 2026 policy agenda. Members championed Governor Kathy Hochul’s SEQRA reforms, which aim to streamline environmental reviews for housing on previously disturbed sites and critical infrastructure. They also urged the passage of a 10% tax credit for converting vacant office space to residential use outside NYC, and called for revisions to energy, wetlands, scaffold law, and prevailing wage policies. The outreach seeks to reduce regulatory barriers and stimulate commercial real‑estate development across the state.
