Dozens gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Queens Borough Hall on Wednesday, July 9, to celebrate the completion of a major renovation of Queens Borough Plaza.
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards was joined by NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) Commissioner Tom Foley, whose agency oversaw the two-year project, along with Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) Commissioner Christina Curry and NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Executive Deputy Commissioner for Asset and Property Management Shameka Overton.
The $6.25 million project at 120-55 Queens Blvd. in Kew Gardens included repaving and stabilizing the plaza and bringing it into full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The renovation also made the front doors of Borough Hall ADA-accessible.
