Hunters Point Project Becoming Controversial

According to an article posted on Curbed.com, there have been more questions regarding whether the Hunters Point Project really qualifies as affordable housing. The project was originally supposed to include 5000 units of housing, increased to 6500. and is now planned for 6,650. According to the Queens Chronicle Community Board Chairman Joe Conley, affordable housing still remains a major concern. Conley told the Querens Chronicle that, “He would like to see different tiers of affordability, as well as proposals to create housing for seniors and city workers.” There is another community meeting scheduled for the last Thursday in May where this is will be discussed. It will also be addressed by the Borough President and the mayor.
