New York, NY….A recent press conference held at the Jamaica/Archer Avenue-Long Island Rail Road Station, revealed that the $7.65 Million allocated funds signed by Governor Cuomo, to improved the Jamaica Transportation Center Station Plaza, might not be coming to the Jamaica community anytime soon….even though it was set aside in the 2016-17 budget for said purpose.

According to Michael G. Scala, Esq, a Counsel/Legislative Director, when asked at the press conference when will the money reach the Jamaica-Queens, community? he said, “While the money is already allocated for the stated purpose, it is  still in the processing stage- where attorney’s are mulling over final details and the setting up of steps to follow upon entry to the community as well as to put project managers in place.”

A call and inquiry to the Governor’s office via the States press office, to get some perspective on when said project will start and when will the actual money, will begin to be issued out?  Todate, and repeated calls to the press office for answers yield no  fruitful gains yet. I am still waiting.
