Finally after years of wrangling and negotiating, the Bloomberg Administration is done talking and is taking action relating to the 62 acre Willets Point site in Queens, adjacent to Citi Field. The site, has long been a festering eyesore , which is hard to do when you sit across from Shea Stadium now appears set to get a makeover. With the stewardship of Claire Shulman , ex Queens Borough President , and Vincent Riso , the esteemed leader of The Briarwood Organization, it appears a new long awaited chapter begins in an area long blighted by more than an underperforming, overpaid National League Baseball team.
According to City Officials the Eminent Domain process will begin on the first 20 acre parcel next week. This spring the city will begin to solicit bids from Developers.
