NEW YORK: The three hundred and third entry for the seniors housing Global Award for 2015 has been received.
A Flushing group and the Department of City Planning teamed up to push forth a project to redevelop the Flushing waterfront and bring more affordable housing to the area.
In 2011, the Flushing Willets Corona Local Development Corporation received a $1.5 million New York State Brownfield Opportunity Grant to fund its Flushing Riverfront Project, which has transformed 60 acres on the Flushing waterfront space. The project created a community with waterfront access and housing and commercial space.
