"This plan updates zoning in parts of the neighborhood still limited by outdated and restrictive rules, allowing more housing and jobs while creating a more accessible community."
"A few decades ago, you could see right over the neighborhood sitting on the bank of the East River and across to the iconic Manhattan skyline. Today, a new skyline has been constructed in front of the old one."
Long Island City is in the midst of significant transformation, with extensive new residential developments including high-rise luxury condos and rentals. To further address the ongoing housing shortage, the Adams administration has proposed a new rezoning plan, potentially adding over 14,000 additional homes to the area, with 4,000 designated as income-restricted. This strategic effort is part of a broader initiative to modernize outdated zoning regulations and stimulate both housing and economic growth in the neighborhood.
