QUEENS, NY –The Queens Borough Board and the Queens Borough Cabinet, both chaired by Borough President Donovan Richards Jr., will hold a joint meeting on Tuesday, July 13 at 5:30 PM.

The Borough Board will vote on the proposed Citywide Hotel Text Amendment, which aims to create a consistent approach to hotel development citywide by requiring City Planning Commission approval for new and enlarged hotels and motels in mixed-use and paired M1/R districts. The Board will also vote on a proposal that would expand the City’s efforts to encourage the opening of convenient and accessible grocery stores in underserved neighborhoods. Finally, the Board will vote on a proposal that would ease restrictions and reduce red tape for gyms, martial arts studios, and other health-related businesses.

Following the June 25 expiration of the State of Emergency declared by Governor Cuomo as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this meeting will be held in-person at Queens Borough Hall, although Board and Cabinet members will have the option to participate via videoconference.
