\u2026 very encouraged by Mayor-elect Adams, who gets the importance of bringing real private investment into these communities, and who seems genuinely committed to creating jobs in this city when they are really needed,\u201d added Levine, a former deputy mayor during the Giuliani administration.<\/p>\n<p>Under the South Bronx plan, a new stadium would replace an elevator parts factory and some parking lots and garages on city-owned land, and it would anchor a project that also includes 2,000-3,000 units of affordable housing, commercial and community retail space, a hotel and a new school \u2014 all a short distance from Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees are part-owners in NYCFC and helped put together the $1 billion mixed-use megaproject plan it projects would bring 10,000 new jobs.<\/p>\n<p>However, the plan hit a hitch once the Yankees sought a guarantee the city would continue to provide 5,400 well-maintained parking spaces for its fan base \u2014 or well below the 9,000 they\u2019re currently entitled to.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s EDC declined comment, but agency sources insisted it was the Yankees who blew the deal by seeking legal guarantees for the parking spaces, and that this project could be revived.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"
