In the heart of Queens, a groundbreaking project is poised to redefine the landscape surrounding Citi Field. Metropolitan Park, led by Mets owner Steve Cohen
and Hard Rock International, isn’t just a visionary concept; it’s a lifeline for thousands of construction workers and their families. With an $8 billion investment, this ambitious project heralds a new era of opportunity for hardworking men and women throughout Queens and across the city.
These aren’t just numbers; they’re livelihoods, they’re stability, they’re the promise of a brighter future for union construction workers. Unionized construction is one of the best economic opportunities and middle-class career pathways available to many underserved communities in our city, including formerly incarcerated individuals, immigrants, people of color, and others from low-income neighborhoods. And major construction projects like Metropolitan Park can provide these communities with good wages, health coverage, and stable, predictable work.
