NY State Seeks Community Input for Aqueduct Racetrack Redevelopment
The Hochul administration has launched a community engagement and site planning process for the approximately 100-acre state-owned Aqueduct Racetrack in South Ozone Park, Queens. Beginning this month, Empire State Development will conduct a series of community workshops and outreach initiatives to gather input from the public on priorities including housing, public open space, retail and community spaces, to be incorporated into the Aqueduct Community Master Plan, expected to be complete in early 2027.
ESD president, CEO and commissioner Hope Knight said, “The Aqueduct Racetrack site represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine 100 acres of state-owned land in Queens. ESD is committed to working with the community through a robust and inclusive engagement process to develop a vision for this site that reflects their input and guides future development.”
The first, in-person community workshop is scheduled for May 12 at John Adams High School, 10101 Rockaway Blvd. in Jamaica. A follow-up workshop on May 14 will be virtual.
