About Us

Farmers Boulevard Community Development Corp. (Farmers Blvd CDC) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation founded in 2009 to revitalize Farmers Boulevard into an inspiring, convenient, and vibrantly utilized main street serving the residents and visitors of southeast Queens, New York. The initial focus of the organization is the portion of Farmers Boulevard running from Hollis Avenue to Murdock Avenue, with a long-term vision spanning south all the way to JFK airport.

Farmers Blvd CDC was born from the overlapping missions of the Ilion Area Block Association, Inc., the African Center for Community Empowerment, and Neighborhood Housing Services of Jamaica, Inc. and other civic groups, residents and merchants in southeast Queens.
