The city council approved the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan last week.

We are looking at the rezoning yielding at least 12,000 units and 2 million sq-ft of commercial space.

Some reading material on the plan with various documents: https://www.jamaicaplan.nyc/

The DEIS is worth reading. Same with proposal presentation.

The boom is coming!
