Women's Plaza in Queens unveiled

Queens Borough President Melinda Katz on Tuesday introduced a new public space named Women's Plaza in Queens. If you couldn't guess, it is dedicated to the women of Queens. The plaza at the northeast corner of Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard in Kew Gardens was in disrepair until May 2016 when the restoration project began. The city put in $960,000 to restore the stonework and revamp the rest of the area.
