The FWCLDC successfully applied
for and received a grant through the New York State Department of State
(NYSDOS) Brownfield Opportunity Areas (BOA) Program to complete a Master
Plan and Step 2 Nomination for an approximately 60-acre area in Flushing.
The Flushing BOA is bounded
by Northern Boulevard to the north, Roosevelt Avenue to the south, Prince
Street to the east and the Van Wyck Expressway to the west.

The Flushing BOA Plan is part of a planning process for the Flushing area that started in 2002 and included community charrettes culminating in the Downtown Flushing Development Framework, (April, 2004). The Flushing BOA Plan is intended to further the community's vision for the Flushing area by updating and integrating stakeholder ideas and concerns, leading to the formulation of recommendations for spurring reinvestment in the area.
