Our Vision
At YourLIC, we envision a vibrant and inclusive future for Long Island City’s waterfront, where every resident has a voice in shaping the community. Our goal is to transform 28 acres along the scenic waterfront into a dynamic area that reflects the aspirations and needs of all its residents.
Who We Are
YourLIC is a collaborative initiative that brings together community members, local businesses, urban planners, and city officials. We are dedicated to creating a comprehensive plan that prioritizes sustainability, inclusivity, and community welfare.
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster a planning process that is deeply inclusive, allowing for a wide range of voices to be heard and integrated into the decision-making process. We focus on four key areas:
- Economic Empowerment: We aim to create economic opportunities that benefit all segments of our community through job creation and support for local entrepreneurs.
- Community Resources: As our population grows, we are committed to expanding access to educational, recreational, and cultural facilities.
- Environmental Resilience: Our plans prioritize green spaces, public parks, and infrastructure that can withstand future challenges, ensuring a sustainable development of our waterfront.
- Inclusive Urban Planning: We advocate for a development that serves the needs of both current residents and future generations, with an emphasis on mobility, accessibility, and smart growth.
Get Involved
Community involvement is the cornerstone of our initiative. We encourage all Long Island City stakeholders to participate in our workshops, online forums, and public meetings to help us craft a plan that truly represents our diverse community.
