The New York City Council has officially signed off on the Adams administration’s Jamaica Neighborhood Plan. Covering nearly 230 blocks in this Queens neighborhood, the plan calls for the development of 12,000 new residential units, including 4,000 affordable units.
“With the historic passage of our administration’s ‘Jamaica Neighborhood Plan,’ we have opened the door to thousands of new homes, thousands of new jobs, and delivered hundreds of millions of dollars for new infrastructure,” said Mayor Eric Adams.
Added Carlo A. Scissura, president and CEO, New York Building Congress, “This is how you keep a neighborhood strong: you build housing people can actually afford, you make room for local business to grow, and you deliver real public investment on the ground in Jamaica.”
To make sure the community remains involved in the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan’s implementation over the coming years, an independent Downtown Jamaica Oversight Task Force will be convened by the City Council.
