Yonkers’ mayor is pitching businesses fearing apocalypse-level conditions under a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty – saying they should consider crossing the border from the boroughs into the burbs before leaving the state.

“I don’t want to be the last one at the train stop sitting saying ‘hey, why did you pass us up? You could’ve come here.’” Mayor Mike Spano told The Post. “So I’m going to be upfront and open, and basically send the message to New York that I like billionaires.

“I like billionaires, I like the average Joe, and I’d like you to come to and try Yonkers. If you’re going to leave, come here,” he added.

Spano, a former state lawmaker and ex-Republican, calls himself a “radical moderate” Democrat and said that “when New York City sneezes, we get the cold.” He’s now making his pitch in a splashy “Think Yonkers” video ad.

“Here in Yonkers, we built a city that delivers for businesses, for developments and for the people that matter most,” Spano says in the clip. “So if you’re looking to take your business someplace else, think Yonkers.”

Spano didn’t direct any specific ire towards Mamdani and said he looks forward to meeting with him and working with the administration at some point, but claimed he just wants to get in front of people’s anxieties about New York’s business climate.

Mamdani has said he wants the state to OK a tax increase on the wealthy and hike the corporate tax to generate funds for his democratic socialist agenda, which critics fear could drive away businesses for greener — and cheaper pastures.

Yonkers’ may provide an option just out of reach of the city subway — with its downtown growing in recent years. Spano touts a focus on housing development while boasting diverse local employers like rail car manufacturer Kawasaki as well as Lionsgate film and television studio.

He said the Westchester County city — the third-largest in the state — offers “microcosm of New York City” with other built-in perks such as avoiding Big Apple local corporate taxes and other fees on businesses all while remaining 15 miles from midtown Manhattan.

“We saw the future potential even before the situation that just happened,” Hershey Friedman, chair of the board of Azorim, a major real estate developer that’s been building in the city, told The Post.

“The taxes are low. They’ve got everything that a person is looking for. Yonkers is the place, as far as we’re concerned,” he added.

Yonkers denizens say they’ve heard the cries of New York’s collapse before.

“It won’t be much different than the mass exodus that happened during COVID,” Amanda Breen, one of the owners of Irish Coffee Shop on McLean Avenue said.

“People bought houses wherever they would find along here and anywhere in Westchester,” she said.

Rory Dolan, owner of his namesake Irish Pub & Restaurant in the Yonkers for 32 years as well as other restaurants in New York, told The Post said he’s seen people flee the city before.

“People left town after 9/11 and then maybe after a year go back again. After Covid too,” he said.

But he thinks the tales of the city’s deaths are greatly exaggerated.

“I came here in 1986. I’ve been around for Koch, Dinkins, Giuliani, Bloomberg, de Blasio, and Adams. It didn’t happen then,” he said.
