NEW YORK (WABC) — As his time in public office starts to wind down, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is holding his end-of-administration news conference on Tuesday.

Adams is delivering an end-of-term update at the City Hall Rotunda.

WABC-TV is streaming the news conference live on abc7NY.com, our mobile and connected TV apps, and on our social media pages starting at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.

During the news conference, Adams is expected to highlight initiatives created to support working-class New Yorkers during his mayoral administration.

The mayor will then bury a time capsule to commemorate his administration’s work. Senior leaders within the Adams administration were told to select items of importance that signify their agency’s work on behalf New Yorkers.

The items will be buried on Park Row, just outside of City Hall’s entrance, for the next decade.

This appears to be the first time a mayoral administration has done a time capsule.
