"Queens Borough President Marshall's approval of the Willets Point Redevelopment Plan yesterday evening is another major step forward for one of the most important environmental contamination clean-up efforts in New York City. Once remediated, Willets Point will become the City's first LEED-certified sustainable neighborhood - providing thousands of units of new housing and creating more than 5,000 permanent and 18,000 construction jobs. I applaud the work of the Borough President, her office, and the Willets Point Advisory Committee in helping shape a plan to revitalize Flushing and Willets Point, and we look forward to continue working with the Borough President as the historic project moves forward."
