About Hunters Point North – Vision Plan for Resilency
In September 2023, the Long Island City Coalition/Hunters Point Community Coalition (LICC/HPCC) started the community–based process of creating a Vision Plan for Resilency for the East River waterfront in Northern Hunters Point to transform the community's vision for a more resilient waterfront into a viable plan.
The Vision Plan for Resiliency is being created out of a community-based, inclusive planning process and is based on LICC/HPCC's guiding principles to be sustainable, resilient, and equitable.
LICC/HPCC recently received a grant from Senator Michael N. Gianaris (New York State Senate Deputy Leader) and a pledge of support from Senator Kristen Gonzalez to develop far-sighted, proactive resiliency strategies in collaboration with the public, members of the community, other local community groups and a team of award–winning professionals, experienced in the planning and design of sustainable urban waterfronts.
