OUR STORY OUR HISTORY JAMAICA QUEENS
By: Editor C. Harrison 3/3/2018
As promised the changes currently taking place on Supthin Blvd, and Archer Avenue was long in coming and is much over due. The changes had been in the works for many many years since 2003. Tthe Greater Jamaica Development Corporation finally is putting the money where they sprouted it would be In our community, Thus, making the face of our community to change forever,,,changes that have already begun. From the beginning of Supthin Blvd to the top of Jamaica Avenue.
Everywhere you look now there are changes going on and we were told recently by congressional members that more changes are expected in the future , the same area and South East Queens.
Going up all around town are new low income apartment buildings, as well as market rate buildings. Apartments so close to Jamaica Ave you can touch the stores. Further down by the LIRR the Long Island Rail Road… literally in walking instance across from the railroad, a brand new Hotel regal and impressively looking, very sleek in the skyline, changing it for good. The out pouring of funds to the area that we were promised was secured by Melinda Katz our new borough President in Queens.
Borough President Katz, literally with the help of Queen’s congressional members pushed the Governor, to fork over $153 billion to get the projects in Queens moving; $1.9 million of it headed towards JFK, a project that will consume our lives for the next several years simply because it’s in our back yard and we are the beneficiaries.
Moreover, when it’s all down Jamaica Queens which is already showing off its fashionable stores in high end fashios, our AirTran brining in thousands and our newly install Art Center and soon to be new renovated subways, Queens is shaping up to be one of the hottest stop—place to visit in the state of New York.
