The Jamaica Neighborhood Plan will provide a vision for the future of the neighborhood. The proposal would update zoning to help Jamaica grow and thrive, with up to 12,000 new homes — including around 4,000 permanently income-restricted affordable homes — in a 230-block area of Jamaica. These changes would also create more opportunities for businesses, bringing new jobs to residents and economic growth to the area. Beyond these zoning changes, the plan would include strategic investments to enhance infrastructure, transit access, open space, and more.
The Jamaica Oversight Task Force works proactively and collaboratively with New York City agencies to advance timely and equitable implementation of the commitments detailed in the 82 Points of Agreement (POA), as well as community goals outlined in the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan.
The Task Force hosts quarterly public meetings so the public can hear directly from New York City agencies on the status of the City's commitments. These meetings also provide attendees with the opportunity to submit questions about the POA and exchange information about advancements in Jamaica.
