the next Chapter for Wellspring & Renew queens

An Exciting NEW Opportunity

As Long Island City continues to grow, an amazing new door has opened.
OneLIC Neighborhood Plan is a major City Planning rezoning of the Anable Basin area of the LIC waterfront. Should this receive approval and move ahead, one of the developers has selected our nonprofit, Renew Queens, as its community partner to create a vibrant, community-serving facility within its future mixed-use development on Vernon Blvd in LIC.   

Here’s what we’re dreaming, praying and planning for: 

🎤 500-seat auditorium with A/V and theatrical lighting setup

🍳 Full commercial kitchen

🪷Wellness initiatives to promote community health and mental wellbeing  

🎒 4–6 age-specific classrooms for kids’ education and youth development

🏀 Multipurpose event space for breakouts, games, athletics, and workshops

🖥️ Office and communal workspace for staff and entrepreneurs

🎬 Small video/sound studio to support local artists

☕ Operable storefront coffee shop

WAYS TO HELP

Right now, this OneLIC plan is just that — a plan. To move it forward, we need the support of our community. We are asking 200+ individuals to sign up on our webpage and commit to attending the OneLIC Neighborhood Plan City Council Hearing.
