概要

 A powerful blizzard battered New York last weekend, dumping up to 19.7 inches of snow in Central Park and ranking as the city's ninth-largest snowstorm on record, according to Wikipedia and Secret NYC reports. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued Emergency Executive Order No. 3 on February 22, declaring a local state of emergency, closing streets to most vehicles from 9 p.m. Sunday until noon Monday, shutting public schools, and suspending alternate-side parking to aid snow removal. NBC New York coverage confirmed blizzard conditions with gusts over 84 mph on Long Island and accumulations exceeding 30 inches in spots like Islip.

In politics, the state legislature wrapped its 2026 joint budget hearings on February 26, scrutinizing Governor Hochul's SFY 2026-27 proposal, as announced by the NFIB and Senate Finance Committee. Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Robert Ortt, pushed affordable housing measures like means-tested rent stabilization and streamlined permitting, per BTPM.org. The Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government urged more funding to bolster investigations and ethics training amid past litigation hurdles.

Economically, Governor Hochul secured Broadridge Financial Solutions' $78 million investment to modernize Long Island operations, retaining 2,200 jobs with up to $40 million in state incentives and a new AI partnership with Stony Brook University, Empire State Development reports. BTQ Technologies opened a quantum hardware hub in Manhattan's Flatiron District, hiring experts from Apple and Meta to advance quantum-secure tech. American Express plans a state-of-the-art headquarters at 2 World Trade Center, deepening Lower Manhattan ties.

Infrastructure advances include spring construction on the Bear Mountain Bridge's first deck replacement since the 1970s, a $93.8 million project enhancing safety with climb-deterrent fencing, per the Governor's office.

Looking Ahead: Watch for budget enactment details, Broadridge's AI workforce programs, and potential wintry mix Thursday into Friday, with milder weekend weather ahead.
