The New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) has asked us to play an important role in the Flushing revitalization, focusing on engaging the non-profit sector in the planning process; ensuring a vibrant role for art, culture, entertainment and the creative industries in our community's economic development plans; and developing strategic initiatives to help brand and market Flushing.
Several exciting development projects already underway will transform Flushing by the end of the decade. These include a Flushing Commons, featuring 350,000 square feet in retail space, 500 apartments, a 200 room hotel; underground parking for 2,000 cars; as well as community recreation and cultural facilities; a riverfront complex featuring a 750,000 square foot retail center with 1,200 residential units; and a new baseball stadium for the New York Mets.
