The Long Island City northern waterfront is home to the Ravenswood Generating Station, New York City's largest fossil fuel plant, supplying over 20% of local power. After Rise Light & Power committed to transforming it into a renewable energy hub, the Office of the Queens Borough President launched "Reimagine Ravenswood," a community-driven planning process to guide a just transition to a clean energy economy in western Queens. Supported by NYSERDA and Rise Light & Power, the process engaged residents through workshops, focus groups, and surveys, producing site reuse plans, community revitalization strategies, and workforce development pathways focused on green jobs. Designed as a public-facing document, the final deliverable prioritizes clear, accessible communication so that residents, community members, and stakeholders can easily understand and engage with the proposed strategies shaping their neighborhood's future.
