The U.S. Tennis Association is planning a $500 million expansion of the National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, and the public has mixed feelings about it. People in Flushing are angry that the center is taking a 0.68-acre sliver of parkland, but people in Kew Gardens are excited about the economic revenue it will generate. Officials also said the project will create 776 full-time construction jobs for local residents. [DNAinfo; previously]
