Dear PlanNYC Users:

Thank you for visiting PlanNYC.

As of July 7, 2010, we have suspended daily news updating on this website, and will not be adding new developments or policy and legislative debates.

PlanNYC, a student-run website based at NYU’s Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, has proudly served New Yorkers for five years. During that time, the growth of online information on land use and development issues, along with advances in technology such as RSS feeds and news alerts, have created many opportunities for New Yorkers to stay informed about housing and land use debates in the City. As a result, the daily news updating on this site has become less unique and less critical to our users.

We are pleased to keep the existing PlanNYC content online as a resource; all content on the site is current of July 6, 2010, but will not be updated after that date.

We hope you continue to use the data and research available at the Furman Center (which you can find at www.furmancenter.org), and we welcome your ideas and suggestions for how we can continue to provide objective information and analysis about land use and housing policy debates in New York City.

For additional information or questions, please email furmancenter@nyu.edu.

Flushing Locals Concerned About Re-Emergence of Mixed-Use Project

  FLUSHING DEVELOPMENT  
  QUEENS COMMUNITY DISTRICT 07  
March 18, 2010
New York Daily News

Residents in Flushing will have an opportunity on Monday to address parking and traffic concerns regarding the planned Flushing Commons mixed-use development, a project that was delayed for nearly three years before being certified by the City in January. The project’s reappearance surprised some residents and business owners in the neighborhood, many who had been involved in the Flushing Commons planning process a few years ago but were unaware of the recent progress on the project.
