Andrew Cuomo proposes rebuilding Rikers Island instead of closing it by 2027, citing delays and opposition, and redirecting land to affordable housing.
Andrew Cuomo, an independent mayoral candidate, proposes halting New York City’s plan to close Rikers Island by 2027 and instead rebuild it one facility at a time, citing stalled progress, cost overruns, and community opposition to replacement jails.
He would repurpose land for new jails into affordable housing.
His plan faces criticism from Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and former judge Jonathan Lippman, who argue it undermines reform efforts and progress already made.
Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa also question the closure, with Sliwa supporting renovations.
