Standing in the shadow of the Ravenswood Generating Station smokestacks, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards joined city officials, local advocates and representatives from Rise Light & Power Thursday to launch the Reimagine Ravenswood Neighborhood Plan, which aims to provide opportunities for the local Queensbridge community during the transformation of the fossil fuel plant into a clean energy hub.
Richards joined officials and advocates outside the 27-acre generating station at 38-54 Vernon Blvd. on July 17 to launch the “historic” neighborhood plan, which promises to create “green energy jobs” and public amenities for the local community throughout the transformation of Ravenswood.
