Willets Points Businesses Must Move Out By Friday to Receive Rent Assistance

NY1 reports that this Friday is the last day Willets Point businesses can move out if they want rent assistance from the city. The city paid businesses a full year’s rent if they relocated by November 30th, now the city is offering six month’s rent until Friday. The Economic Development Corporation reports that it helped relocate about 50 businesses, mostly within Queens, to help make way for the planned mega mall. The existing Willets Point tenants (who have long opposed the city’s relocation deal) plan to reach out to Mayor de Blasio and the new City Council. Bloomberg’s City Council approved development plans here this past fall.
