Arverne / Edgemere HOPE VI

Queens, New York

Located on the peninsula between Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the Arverne and Edgemere neighborhood is located in one of the most beautiful settings in New York City. However, the dense, mid-rise brick buildings were not connected to these natural assets. Vacant land, a former landfill, large institutional buildings, and an elevated subway line isolated the neighborhood from jobs, education, and recreational opportunities. While serving as Director of Planning for the New York City Housing Authority and later as Deputy General Manager, Miller obtained the $45 million HOPE IV Implementation Grant for the development of the project. The total development cost was approximately $165 million.
