Scope and Content Note

This series consists of archival copies of the publicly accessible website of the Queens West Development Corporation.

B2096-07: This accretion consists of a copy of the Queens West Development Corporation Web site produced on December 26, 2006, shortly before Governor George E. Pataki (1995-2006) left office. It contains press releases (2001) and site descriptions, photographs, and architectural renderings documenting the corporation's four-stage project to transform the Hunters Point (Queens, N.Y.) waterfront into a residential and commercial neighborhood. Information about the area's history, businesses, services, points of interest, houses of worship, and cultural institutions and a detailed map of the entire project site are also included.

B2096-08: This accretion consists of a copy of the Queens West Development Corporation Web site produced on May 9, 2008, shortly after the resignation of Governor Eliot L. Spitzer (2007-2008). It contains additional press releases (2001, 2007) and site descriptions, photographs, and architectural renderings documenting the corporation's four-stage project to transform the Hunters Point (Queens, N.Y.) waterfront into a residential and commercial neighborhood. Information about the area's history, businesses, services, points of interest, houses of worship, and cultural institutions and a detailed map of the entire project site are also included.

B2096-10: This accretion consists of a copy of the Queens West Development Corporation site produced on December 20, 2010, shortly before Governor David A. Paterson (2008-2010) left office. It contains information about the history of the Hunters Point (Queens, N.Y) area, the mission of the corporation, and an overview of the corporation's two-stage plan to transform the Hunters Point waterfront into a residential and commercial neighborhood.

Researchers should note that, owing to the structure of the live site and the limitations of Web archiving technology, most of the information in the "Photo Gallery" section and some of the information in the "News and Events" section could not be captured properly in late 2010.

B2096-15: This accretion consists of a copy of the Queens West Development Corporation Web site produced on March 6, 2015, shortly after Governor Andrew Cuomo (2011- ) completed his first term of office. It contains information about the history of the Hunters Point (Queens, N.Y) area, the mission of the corporation, press releases (2009), and an overview of the corporation's two-stage plan to transform the Hunters Point waterfront into a residential and commercial neighborhood.

Researchers should note that, owing to the structure of the live site and the limitations of Web archiving technology, most of the content in the "Photo Gallery" section could not be captured properly in 2015.

Researchers should note that some time after this copy was produced, this site was removed from the live Web and much of its content was incorporated into the website of the corporation's parent body, the Empire State Development Corporation.
