Overview
- At a City Hall farewell news conference, Eric Adams highlighted his record and said, "I left everything I had on the ice."
- The steel capsule was buried on Park Row outside City Hall’s east entrance and is intended to be opened in about a decade.
- Deputy mayors placed symbolic items including a key for the City of Yes rezoning, a tiny trash can for containerization, an asylum seeker ID card, a Staten Island Ferry model, and a piece of an NYPD drone, alongside a vinyl record touting claimed 'records.'
- Sources told THE CITY that Deputy Mayor for Operations Jeff Roth informed his team Tuesday was his last day, as Adams set off on personal travel to Mexico with a reported Europe stop to follow.
- Local outlets noted this appears to be the first time a New York City mayoral administration has organized its own time capsule.
