Governor Kathy Hochul visited Queens Center Mall in Elmhurst on Thursday, engaging with local residents amid their holiday shopping to discuss the rising cost of living in New York and to promote her proposal to deliver Inflation Reduction checks aimed at easing financial burdens for New Yorkers.
Hochul, joined by Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, strolled through the busy mall, located at 90-15 Queens Blvd., speaking with shoppers and posing for photos with numerous Queens residents. The mall, one of the borough’s premier shopping destinations, features over 150 stores and eateries and is a vital economic hub for the area, especially during the holiday season.
