The 89 Maspeth Avenue project, which has faced years of community debate, now moves closer to construction after securing necessary city support for road and utility upgrades. Supporters highlight its potential to bring much-needed housing and commercial space to the area, while critics continue to raise concerns about displacement and neighborhood impact.
