New York City Starts Willets Point Sewer Project to Help Develop Queens

New York City started the initial phase of infrastructure work at Willets Point in Queens, including construction of a sanitary sewer main, with the goal of creating a new mixed-use neighborhood in Queens.

The work represents a first step in the environmental remediation of the long-contaminated site, according to a statement issued by the city.

“This major investment in infrastructure will create jobs, catalyze private sector investment, and lay the groundwork for New York City’s next great neighborhood,” said Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in the release.
