The year is 2030. New York City landlords, struggling to comply with city-mandated greenhouse gas emission caps, are on the hook for millions of dollars in fines penalties that will only multiply in the coming years. This is the daunting reality that building owners face under Local Law 97.
But there is a possible workaround.
The city is considering a program that will allow building owners to trade carbon emissions. If implemented, landlords who own buildings with high greenhouse gas emissions will be able to buy credits from lower-emitting building owners to reduce overall emissions. It could also give rise to a market for Wall Street to tap into.

Again: Perhaps thereâs something in the water?
âI donât know if thereâs something in the water,â said Cris Meadows, Hintonâs city manager, âbut thereâs definitely an entrepreneurship attitude in our community. Weâve got people opening businesses and sometimes itâs their first business, sometimes itâs an extension of their first business. Thatâs really been a positive thing for us.â
The growth in Summers County has been consistent. The county has led the state or been within close proximity of the top spot in each of the past 14 months. A total of 57 new businesses have registered with the Secretary of Stateâs Office since Jan. 1, 2020.

Public officials are telling us simultaneously to move swiftly on vaccination and also to make thoughtful, reasoned choices about which vaccine we get. These messages are confusing and frustrating.
