Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. and Empire State Development on Tuesday, Jan. 31, announced the launch of a series of community visioning workshops that will be held to hear input from eastern Queens residents about the redevelopment of the 50-acre Creedmoor Psychiatric Center campus in Queens Village.
The first community visioning workshop will be held on Thursday, Feb. 2, at 7 p.m. at P.S./I.S. 208 located at 74-30 Commonwealth Blvd. in Glen Oaks.
Community members residing in the neighborhoods of Bellerose, Queens Village, Hollis Hills, Floral Park, Glen Oaks, Oakland Gardens, Bellerose Manor and all the communities near Creedmoor, are encouraged to attend the workshops, take advantage of online engagement tools, and sign up for the email list to receive updates.
For a century and a half, Creedmoor, located at 79-26 Winchester Blvd., has had a significant presence in eastern Queens. Now, over 50 acres of its campus will become the focus of a New York state-led community visioning and redevelopment effort.
