The Department of Transportation has described its plans to redevelop the Harper Street Asphalt Plant in Willets Point as “critical” after some local landowners and a former DOT official called on the city to halt the project because it does not align with ongoing development in the area.
The DOT has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to develop the shuttered Harper Street Asphalt Plant at 131-21 Northern Blvd. on the shore of Flushing Creek, which has an estimated cost of around $80 million.
