The long-awaited reconstruction of the MacNeil Park seawall in College Point is finally underway.
Earlier this week, Councilman Paul Vallone, Borough President Melinda Katz and the Parks Department announced that the $5.2 million construction project is slated to be done by next August.
Pols say this is a great win for the neighborhood, whose dream of a vibrant park with waterfront access is on the horizon.
“A vibrant waterfront esplanade will become a reality at MacNeil Park once this vitally important seawall repair project is completed,” Katz said.
