Willets Point Land Use Study

The purpose of the study is to survey and map land use patterns and businesses in the Willets Point area of Queens, New York. Willets Point has been the subject of numerous recent proposals for redevelopment. The City's Economic Development Corporation released Requests for Expressions of Interest in November 2004 and recently qualified a small group of developers to present proposals for redevelopment of the area. The information and maps provided by this study will hopefully serve as background for discussions about the area. It was not within the scope of this study to evaluate existing proposals or develop alternative proposals. However, we have offered some preliminary assessments of current conditions and ideas that could serve as a foundation for more in-depth study of future opportunities
