It’s massive in size, it’s complex and it’s scary. So,we residents, within the boundaries of the “Jamaica Plan”, voice our concerns.
The Department of City Planning has proposed the Jamaica Plan rezoning which covers 368 blocks and is aimed at stimulating new housing and office development in Downtown Jamaica while attempting to preserve most of the surrounding area’s residential atmosphere. But, residents fear rezoning plans may force them to lose their homes or a neighborhood next to them, seriously affecting their quality of life.Residents feel left out of the loop and demand the project be stopped. Information on the plan can be found on the Department of City Planning’s Web site at www.nyc.gov/dcp.
