(1) The U.S. Veterans Administration is currently considering a proposal to build large-scale nonveteran housing on 25 or more acres with private developers. (2) Any development of this magnitude would have a negative effect on the surrounding community's infrastructures; including schools, traffic and our water and sewer system while greatly jeopardizing the property values and quality of life in South Jamaica, Queens. (3) The proposed site is currently considered a Historical Landmark and important natural habitat to the community. We the undersigned, believe that the plans by the Veterans Administration and Private Developers to build non-veterans residences and/or any development(s) not consistent with the current characteristics of St. Albans on the 25 acres would present a major threat to the health and well being of the community's economy, and would also undermine the integrity of our service men and woman.
