The $8 billion Metropolitan Park casino project, proposed by Mets owner Steve Cohen and Hard Rock International, is expanding its vision by incorporating affordable housing into its plans. Queens Future, a partnership with Slate Property Group, aims to develop over 450 affordable housing units at a parking lot in Corona. The project includes long-term affordability commitments, community facilities, and local hiring initiatives. If approved, this development will not only enhance the local area but also create a significant number of jobs, with a focus on supporting underrepresented communities.
"The proposed affordable housing development aims for over 450 units at a surface-level parking lot, supporting the community alongside the $8 billion casino project."
"The units are designed to remain affordable for at least 60 years, with a substantial number classified as 'deeply affordable' for low-income residents."
