The Willets Point Defense Committee sent a letter to City Councilman Hiram Monserrate (D-East Elmhurst) and other city officials demanding that a $3 million fund set up to help tenant businesses relocate be extended, calling the current plan woefully inadequate for the more than 200 businesses it would need to serve.In the letter, Willets Point Defense Committee President Arturo Olaya said the existing fund, which would be divided up among the businesses by square footage, seems geared towards allowing store owners to dissolve their businesses and seek other employment rather than relocate.
The group estimated that the average business in Willets Point would receive $15,000, while many of the smaller shops would only receive $9,000 or less. Olaya said the funding would be a drop in the bucket towards addressing the costs involved with relocation, such as new rental sites, storage, moving, customization of new spaces, signage, marketing to attract customers and employee payrolls.

This is the part where Biggie shows what a heartless asshole he is.
and he still anonymous. go back to the tracker biggie no one wants you on the craper. or at ITT . your so fast to sell out the auto shops in willets point but yet you get your moms car fixed there. well you'll be getting moms car fixed for a long time at willets point because it will be there for ever as soon as mayor jew bag gets out of office
you can't handle the truth that auto shops are in money grab mode
Syonora chop shops
wilpon will kick in 3 mil and hyram will kick in three and the mexiicans will pack up their roosters and be gonzo
auto shops will never go a way so meny land owners will hold this thing up in court thats the truth hyram got his pay day and is not shareing it with the shops he sold them out. 15 years from now nothing will be built . the city will not give any more money these shops no way it will be land owners first then these shops with the money . money mode no way
wilpon will kick in 3 mil and hyram will kick in three and the mexiicans will pack up their roosters and be gonzo
gonzo to were collage point tony wont like that
auto shops are in money grab mode
biggie you might think so but what happens when the money never shows
land owner and chop shop law suits
once the chop shops get a few extra bucks they will be happy to leave... Ask Olaya
The real criminals here are the fuedal slum lords who rape the land and don't care
They are third generation silver spooners and will wind up getting shut out like they should
Absentee fuedal slumlords all live on long island and piss on queens for 50 years
put them in Steinway next to the rikers access bridge...
Plenty of empty land in that industrial area ...
Not a big deal
hey biggie what happened to develop willets point and your bitch mcshane? go back there no need for your evil here
is that the best you can do??
Mcshane is travelling in Europe while you are selling tacos to Olaya out of your food truck
So who is the bitch??
Olaya was busted last night
someone high up in nypd saw him on ny1 vandalizing hiram's campaign bus and decided a crime was committed, he was released and issued a bench ticket. hiram called kelly to complain.
I wouldn't be surprised if this order came from city hall to suppress and intimidate arturo's group.
hiram useing his power to fuck up the chop shops ,hear come the law suits to stop willets point
