Richmond Terrace Corridor

Building the Plan Background and Context

Richmond Terrace communities have spent years creating their vision for the future of the area. Join us in bringing it to life.

Why Richmond Terrace?

Richmond Terrace connects communities across Staten Island’s north shore and provides access to maritime industrial jobs. Surrounding communities have called for a plan to support:

Vibrant mixed-use neighborhood centers

More high-quality jobs

Easy access to the waterfront

Improved transportation connections and mobility

We are working together to turn those visions into real policies for a bright future along the Richmond Terrace Corridor.

Local communities face high risks of flooding, health challenges, and rent burden compared to NYC as a whole. The plan will focus on equity for North Shore residents – for example, by supporting permanently affordable housing.

Project Milestones

Happening now: Community meetings to turn vision into policy.
These meetings build on years of research that you can explore here.

Next step: A land use framework will be finalized to support new zoning recommendations.
