Western Queens Community Land Trust (WQCLT) is working to acquire a large city-owned manufacturing building on the Long Island City waterfront. Their goal is to transform this site into a truly affordable citywide hub for working artists/cultural organizations, manufacturing/small businesses, and other crucial community-serving needs. You can read more about the “Queensboro People’s Space” vision here, and Community Land Trusts here. If you have a business that needs affordable manufacturing space, are a working artist of any type, or represent a cultural organization, please take this brief survey to help us understand your space needs. This will help build a strong case to the City that this wonderful building should provide deeply affordable workspaces to help us all thrive. And if you’d like to get involved to help make this vision happen, email info@wqclt.org.
