"Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the start of a public planning process to redevelop the state-owned South Ozone Park property, where horse racing is expected to end this summer as operations shift to the rebuilt Belmont Park on the Queens/Nassau border."
"The Aqueduct site represents a significant opportunity, and through this community-driven process, we will ensure its future reflects the immediate priorities of Queens residents while expanding housing, economic opportunity and public amenities for all New Yorkers for years to come."
"Empire State Development will lead the effort, which will include public workshops, visioning sessions and open houses through the end of 2026. The feedback will help shape the Aqueduct Community Master Plan, expected to be completed in early 2027."
Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens is closing after over a century, with operations moving to Belmont Park. State officials are initiating a public planning process for the 100-acre site, which may include housing, retail, and community spaces. Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized the importance of utilizing state-owned land to address New York's housing crisis. The planning will involve public workshops and sessions until 2026, with a master plan expected by early 2027. The site presents an opportunity to enhance economic prospects and public amenities for local residents.
