Page 47 - 2021 Queens Economic Development Guide

When our landlord threatened to triple our rent just before COVID, Tom Grech was one of the first representatives in Queens outside of the Elected Officials to call me up and advise me on trying to figure this thing out...48 hours later we had a handshake agreement that kept my rent affordable, while providing public funding assistance for the
landlord as well. It was a win-win.
