A 6781 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

This bill authorizes New York City to sell or lease approximately 77 acres of parkland within Flushing Meadows Corona Park to Queens Future, LLC for development including a gaming facility, commercial spaces, and related infrastructure. It requires the city to dedicate funds equal to the land's market value toward new parkland or improvements in Queens, specifically mandating at least 20 acres of new parkland (including a north-south connection) within the park.
