Partners

Completed by the City of New York in partnership with the Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, the Jamaica Now Action includes the recommendations from more than 50 stakeholder groups, including the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation, Regional Plan Association, and York College.

In support of the Jamaica Action Plan, Queens Borough President Melinda Katz will create a council of Jamaica stakeholders to provide oversight and evaluation of the implementation process. This effort will ensure the sustained growth of Jamaica as a mixed-income neighborhood with vibrant commercial corridors, inviting public spaces, improved transit networks, and a diverse economy providing quality jobs for local residents.
