New York City is preparing to issue a request for expressions of interest this spring for the site at 44-36 Vernon Blvd in Long Island City, originally slated for Amazon's headquarters. Following Amazon's withdrawal in 2019 due to community opposition, the city seeks to rezone the area, aiming to create 14,000 homes. The city's Economic Development Corporation will solicit community feedback until summer 2025, which will inform future proposals after the rezoning plan is completed. The Long Island City Neighborhood Plan includes high-density housing and mixed-use developments, intending to revitalize the waterfront and enhance local services.
The city's efforts to rezone Long Island City aim to create 14,000 new homes and attract community-serving developments on the site once designated for Amazon's headquarters.
Responses will be accepted until summer, guiding the Economic Development Corporation in shaping a formal proposal after the neighborhood's rezoning is finalized by late 2025.
