The 100 percent affordable housing project — called Beach 21st — transformed the vacant lot on city-owned land near the Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue subway station, delivering on key commitments from the “Downtown Far Rockaway Roadmap for Action,” a comprehensive plan released in 2016 to revitalize the neighborhood and improve the quality of life for local residents.
“Seven years ago, I convened the Downtown Far Rockaway Working Group to develop a $288 million roadmap for this community’s revitalization and reverse decades of deliberate disinvestment,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said. “I could not be more proud of the life-changing progress we are delivering for the families of this neighborhood in the form of housing, open space, education, and beyond — it truly is a new day for Far Rockaway, where its residents are finally being heard loud and clear.”
The multi-agency effort, led by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), delivered street safety upgrades, new pedestrian space, climate resilience, and flood protection measures to an area that was pummeled nearly a decade ago by Superstorm Sandy.
Councilwoman Selvena Brooks-Powers applauded the Department of Transportation for completing a $114 million infrastructure project that was completed three months early and $25 million under budget, the NYCEDC and community partners for their commitment to “synergetic community spaces to strengthen the neighborhood, provide vital housing to residents, and construct a stronger, better downtown Far Rockaway.
“Thriving communities need vital open spaces, community spaces, community engagement, affordable housing, and a formidable connection to critical services,” Brooks-Powers said. “The Beach 21st Street mixed-use development has the necessary synergy to assure that our community stays on the trajectory of vibrancy.”

Lol! Who talks that way? Only a Progressive nitwit. Anyway, of course in a few years this will be a broken-down dump, because that's what always happens with public housing. It's interesting that across the country in the Bluer states and cities, the notion of public housing -- now often called "social housing" to try and fool you -- is roaring back. It's like a long-dead nightmare from the failed Liberal fantasies of the 50s and 60s has returned.
Just like thanks to Liberals crime exploded in the 60s and is exploding again, after many decades of hard work to get it down, though it's never come close to the pre-Liberal 50s levels of very little crime (you know how your granny used to say "in my day we never even locked the doors" -- it was true).
Well I'm sure this development will, indeed, end up with all kinds of "vibrancy," just not the way that stupid Selvena Brooks-Powers thinks.
How diverse and inclusive !
Well, it't the P.J's. The Sheeple need a place to stay. Rather stay there than the Q-Anon drone's trailer any day.
Silly, you should only make money if the govt gives it to you from the Tax payers.
Send some illegals to Far Rockaway, make the liberals cry for help over the Hiden border.
@Rather stay there than the Q-Anon drone's trailer any day.
TA Commie, is that your $100K donor?
Or is it Uncle George Soros?
Future home for Alex Jones.
Prove me wrong.
The midterms can’t get here any faster. Let’s hope competent people actually win in the house and senate and as many worthless people are voted out.
What the fuck is a trajectory of vibrancy? Sounds like a Kamala Harris word salad.
Great, more will shit & piss in the public pools.
Signs in Spanish are worthless because most these people cant read or write.
Future barracks for illegals.
Its turning out many of these illegal children and adults being bused in from the Mexico border have polio and other nasty things that will soon be making a comeback not seen in this country in 70 or more years.
The bus drivers are getting sick and all these people cut loose at NYC port authority and churches are now nowhere to be found.
Not one boo on the news regarding the disease aspect and what the fallout effects will cost us.
