The Dutch Kills neighborhood in
Long Island City consists of mostly
low-rise buildings that house manu-facturers.
Developers have expressed
interest in the area, which borders
Long Island City. A seven-story condo
with 88 units and 78 parking spaces
is planned for 37-21 32nd St.
The city is also looking to upzone
a part of that neighborhood so that
developers can build more affordable
housing in the area. Residents
pushed back on the idea in a
meeting with representa-tives
from the City Plan-ning
Commission in
