Public Open House: Tell New York State what you think about proposed projects for Downtown
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) in 2016 to invest $100 million in 10 downtowns across New York State. Downtown Jamaica won a competitive process to be selected as New York City’s awardee. A Strategic Investment Plan in early 2017 will recommend projects to fund with the State’s $10 million award and from other available sources.
Come tell New York State your input on proposed projects to create an even more vibrant Jamaica.
Classes are sponsored by the Small Business Association.
The Queens Economic Development Corporation and Queens Tourism Council will host Queens Taste 2024 at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 21, from 6 pm to 9 pm.
We expect to attract more than 500 attendees with 50 restaurants and beverage purveyors, who will offer samples of their products. Thus, attendees will be able to bounce from table to table, tasting treats from tangy to fiery, crunchy to velvety, and sweet to briny.
Queens Taste is also a celebration of the borough -- and a great way to network. Almost all the anticipated 500 attendees either live in Queens or do business there. Many are executives and captains of industry. The atmosphere is always festive, almost giddy, creating an ideal scene for meeting and greeting.
