Astoria Divided Over Enormous Development Proposal
During a virtual public hearing on Monday, residents and developers alike got to speak their minds about the massive Innovation QNS development proposed for Astoria, Queens. The general tone was in favor of the development, although a number of opposing residents did express concerns that the hearing was unfairly stacked against them. They claim that a disproportionate number of supporters and developers received the chance to speak, and that it didn't reflect the views of the local community. If approved, Innovation QNS would occupy a 5-block section, consisting of 12 new buildings and adding a total of 2,800 housing units to the area.
