NYC’s budget deficit projected to near $14B by 2027: state comptroller

New York City’s budget deficit could hit $13.9 billion by 2027 — more than twice the shortfall projected by Mayor Eric Adams — thanks to new and costly labor contracts, the migrant crisis and slow economic recovery from COVID-19, according to a new report from Albany.

The projection released Thursday by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli far exceeds the city Office of Management and Budget prediction of a deficit growing to $6.5 billion over the next four years.

Adams’ unveiled his record $102.7 billion budget proposal in early January, which DiNapoli assumes will grow to $104.8 billion before its due date on June 30.

The comptroller released the 51-page study days after City Hall struck a tentative deal with one of its biggest labor unions — District Council 37 which represents 90,000 municipal workers — to raise wages by 3% for the years 2022 through 2025 and 3.25% in 2026.
