Op-ed | NYC Council's last-mile facilities' bill could be last straw for small businesses | amNewYork
"Fairly Nuts is a trail mix company that I created in 2023 to provide healthy snacks to customers with busy, on-the-go lifestyles. We make trail mix combinations with healthy ingredients that customers crave and in convenient packaging."
"Like many small businesses in the city, Fairly Nuts has seen the impacts of rising costs due to inflation and tariffs, but also the challenging regulatory environment in New York that has increased red tape and operating fees."
"This bill threatens the ability of some last-mile facilities to operate unless they make significant operational changes or shutter their operations entirely. For me and Fairly Nuts, this outcome could be devastating, cutting off a key distribution partner and source of income."
Fairly Nuts, a trail mix company founded in 2023, provides healthy snacks for busy New Yorkers. Operating in a complex regulatory environment, the business faces rising costs and challenges from a new bill, Intro. 518, which could jeopardize last-mile delivery operations. This bill may force significant changes or closures of delivery facilities, threatening Fairly Nuts' distribution and income. The company relies on these facilities to reach customers effectively, making the potential impact of the bill particularly concerning for its future.
