New York City Mayor Eric Adams has struck a deal with Gov. Kathy Hochul to relocate 1,200 migrant families outside the Big Apple — the most substantial move by the state to take ownership of the crisis, The Post has learned...........The news comes just one day after Adams issued yet another dire warning to President Biden – for the 36th time – predicting that the migrant crisis will eventually “decimate the big Apple if more federal funding doesn’t come fast.

The feds, so far, have contributed or promised a mere $142 million.

Biden has promised no extra money and pledged no additional assistance.

The 1,200 migrant families are expected to be transferred to anywhere from Westchester County to the state capital of Albany, sources said. The deal would give the city relief from having to house 1,200 migrant families.

“There [are] planning conversations between the governor’s team and the mayor’s team about how to disperse migrants who are putting too much strain on the city’s existing capacity, and the state has agreed to a plan to relocate families throughout counties in New York state,” said a City Hall source with knowledge of the talks.

The source added that the migrants could start being moved as early as next week to counties that have “certain infrastructure to support these families.”

The move is also connected to growing concerns over a surge in migrant children enrolling in public schools before the Sept. 7 start date.

The state Commissioner of Education Betty Rosa had discussed with Adams officials earlier this week which school districts were “better equipped than others to better support” the kids, according to a source.

“That was kind of the thrust of this,” the source said.

A list of soon-to-be state-run spots obtained by The Post says there will be three hotels manned by the National Guard in Albany County, four in Westchester County, three in Erie County and one in each Schenectady, Orange and Dutchess counties.  MORE AT https://nypost.com/2023/08/11/hochul-adams-close-to-deal-to-move-1200-migrant-families-out-of-nyc/
