Often when we see New York talking about renovations, they're for Manhattan, so it’s wonderful when we see big changes happening for other boroughs — like this rezoning that has been approved for Far Rockaway in Queens!

The City Council has unanimously voted to approve a rezoning of 23 blocks in Far Rockaway as part of Mayor DeBlasio’s Housing Plan. This will be Far Rockaway’s first rezoning since 1961.
The Details:
The rezoning will allow for 3,000 residential units to be built across the 23 blocks. And what’s even better — the land is city property so all the units will be affordable. The project will also feature several new perks for the area including:
- A new library at Mott and Central Avenues
- A ferry shuttle to travel between Downtown Far Rockaway and Beach 108th Street
- A real-time bus arrival display
The Cost:
The project will cost about $288 million to complete, made up of $126 million of city funds with the rest being covered by federal government and private developer contributions.
