Jenny Osman is an Assistant Vice President at the NYCEDC within the Neighborhood Strategies department, working to incorporate her academic focus on the public health impacts of the built environment, and experience in food policy, into the agency’s urban planning work. Jenny has been at EDC for over five years. For four of those years, Jenny managed a tax incentive program to support supermarket development and renovation in low-income areas of the city, called FRESH. Jenny is a native New Yorker and has always enjoyed walking the city and discovering its hidden histories – more recently Jenny has been taking advantage of more of NYC’s natural beauty through long bike rides, visits to the Jamaica bay nature refuge and kayaking in NYC’s many waterways.
