Sanitation Upgrade Meets Housing | New York City News
Description
NYC just poured $230 million into a massive new sanitation hub in Staten Island—140,000 square feet of cutting-edge trash, snow, and street cleanup tech, complete with solar panels and modern fueling stations. But here’s the real twist: it means demolition of the 68-year-old Jersey Street Garage, replaced by 232 new apartments and a grocery store. After 12 years in the works, this transformation turns Fresh Kills—the former landfill that closed in 2001—into a community powerhouse. Locals, nostalgic for the old garage’s sights and smells, are embracing the change. It’s a smart upgrade: cleaner streets, better services, and much-needed housing—all rolled into one bold urban renewal.
