Gentrification in Motion: What They Decided About Jamaica Queens
Open Op: What Happened at Yesterday’s Jamaica Queens City Council Meeting
Yesterday, the City Council met to discuss the Jamaica Queens Gentrification Project — a proposal that could reshape the borough and, in the process, displace thousands of long-time residents who have called this community home for generations.
The project, largely hidden from the public eye until now, has sparked frustration and concern among neighbors, local activists, and small businesses.
Here are two pressing questions we need your voice on:
-
Why weren’t residents informed?
Many community members are only learning about this hearing after decisions are already moving forward. How do you feel about the lack of transparency? -
What kind of businesses are being invited into our neighborhoods?
Reports suggest that several waste-related and heavy industrial businesses may be brought into Jamaica. These aren’t just “new jobs” — they are facilities that could sit right next to homes, schools, and community centers.
