New DEP Commissioner Named

  Mayor Michael Bloomberg has named Carter Strickland to be the new DEP commissioner. Mr. Strickland served as Deputy Commissioner for Sustainability at DEP and as the Senior Policy Advisor for Air and Water in the Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability. The mayor writes in a letter that Strickland was key in the making of PlanNYC, and continues that the 6,000 person DEP has risen to new heights with the aid of new commissioner Strickland's leadership. 

  Strickland said that it is an honor to be selected to lead this talented and dedicated agency, and to be able to give back to the city. He added "the work the DEP does on a daily basis is remarkable". He went on to say what a pleasure it has been to serve in the Bloomberg administration.

  There are those of us here in the Northwest Bronx who want to know just how new Commissioner Strickland feels on public access to the Jerome Park Reservoir.
