About Hunters Point North – Vision Plan for Resilency
Long Island City Coalition & Hunters Point Community Coalition (LICC/HPCC) led the community–based process of creating the Hunters Point North – Vision Plan for Resiliency which transforms this community's vision for a more resilient, equitable, balanced, and connected neighborhood into a proactive plan for the East River waterfront in northern Hunters Point.
LICC/HPCC are local partners who are committed to holistic, community-based urban planning and who have collaborated with other local community groups to support sustainable development and well-planned growth for many years. The Vision Plan is based on their guiding principles of sustainability, resiliency, and equity.
Released in May 2024, Hunters Point North – Vision Plan for Resiliency was developed with the help of a grant from NY State Senator Michael N. Gianaris (Senate Deputy Leader) and the continued support of NY State Senator Kristen Gonzalez.
