After months of negotiations, Governor Kathy Hochul on Monday said the state has reached a “tentative contract” with President Biden’s administration to use Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field as a site for yet another large-scale migrant shelter.
The deal comes as two other state-funded massive asylum seeker shelters have come online over the past week: one in the parking lot of the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in eastern Queens and the other on several Randall’s Island athletic fields.
