The City Council recently greenlit a controversial plan to build a 572-seat public school in northeast Queens, despite many voicing their disapproval within the community.
Earlier this month at the Dec. 9 New York City Stated Council Meeting, Council members unanimously voted in favor of the proposal to build a school at 24th Avenue and Waters Edge Drive in Bay Terrace. Back in June, a majority of Community Board 7 voted against building the school, with many citing overcrowding, threats of flooding and increased traffic as major issues.
