The Department of City Planning announced the beginning of the public review process for the rezoning proposal of Richmond Hill and Woodhaven.
Council Member Elizabeth Crowley said:
“The rezoning of Woodhaven and Richmond Hill will strengthen the neighborhoods’ appearance by preserving its characteristic one and two family homes. The new zoning plan will also encourage economic growth along the commercial areas on Jamaica and Atlantic Avenues. I want to thank the Department of City Planning and community leaders for making rezoning a key priority in the neighborhood.”
