Neighborhood Development

At the Neighborhood Economic Development Division, our mission is to stimulate private investment by encouraging the active participation of community based groups in the implementation and management of commercial revitalization initiatives. We facilitate the rejuvenation of under-served communities across the borough of Queens by creating jobs, improving physical conditions and promoting private investment.

Our division provides technical assistance to merchant associations and local development organizations with the strategic planning and implementation of physical improvement projects along commercial corridors. Our services include: assessing economic conditions, identifying areas in greatest need of improvement, advising neighborhood aesthetic enhancements, structuring capital improvement budgets, and coordinating with appropriate city agencies on the execution of streetscape and facade renovations.

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.
