""There must be a community-engaged plan that is reflective of the visions and aspirations of our neighbors and set a new standard for how we plan and build in western Queens.""
""Mamdani made the surprise announcement on Feb. 27, less than 24 hours after making an unannounced trip to Washington to meet President Donald Trump, where he proposed a partnership with the Trump Administration on a roughly $21 billion plan to deck over the railyard and build 12,000 new homes.""
Almost 200 residents attended a community session regarding a proposal to build 12,000 homes over Sunnyside Yard. Council Member Julie Won hosted the event, marking the first public engagement since Mayor Mamdani revived the project. The plan includes a partnership with the Trump Administration and aims to provide affordable housing and infrastructure. Local officials express concerns about potential displacement and gentrification. Won advocates for a community-engaged approach to ensure the project reflects local needs and aspirations.
