“Our City is in the midst of real change, and we must ensure that the long-term residents who built up neighborhoods like Sunnyside and Woodside are not left behind. The local leaders whom I met with this past Wednesday have shown real dedication to their communities, and it is critical that they have a seat at the table in any discussion about the future of Sunnyside and Woodside,” New York City Comptroller Scott M.
