There is a public meeting to discuss the issue of a city plan to turn the Maspeth Holiday Inn Express into a Homeless Shelter within 60 days. The meeting will be on Thursday, August 11, at 7:30 p.m. at Martin Luther School at 60-02 Maspeth Avenue. Michael LoCascio, director of St. Stanislaus Sports says he has already notified legislators and city officials, and hopes community members will attend to learn first hand about what the city plans to do and voice their opinions about the shelter.
But in a story that appeared in the Queens Ledger today one neighbor says he has recently seen a half dozen people walking around his block begging for money and Locascio says that he encountered homeless people outside the hotel who might just be living there already.
