From Politico:

The city will spend $105 million to build a new NYPD precinct in Southeast Queens, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday — reversing a decision to eliminate the project last year when he was under pressure to cut the police budget.

De Blasio said stimulus funding from the federal government will allow the city to move forward with the plan to create a 116th precinct.

As protesters took to the streets last year after the death of George Floyd — many pushing to defund the police — de Blasio promised in June to cut $1 billion from the NYPD operating budget and another $500 million from its capital budget. Very few of the proposed cuts have actually materialized.

One major rollback was the planned new precinct, whose budget de Blasio said would instead go to build a community center in Roy Wilkins Park in St. Albans.
