Community-Driven Planning at Halletts Point
At the Halletts Point Community Planning organization, we believe that the best ideas come from the people who live here. Located in the heart of Astoria, Queens, Halletts Point represents a unique opportunity to create a neighborhood shaped entirely by its residents.
For too long, community planning has been a top-down process. Residents have been told what their neighborhood needs instead of being asked. We're changing that. Through our platform, every community member can propose projects, vote on ideas, and contribute funding to make their vision a reality.
What We Do
Our platform empowers residents to take control of their neighborhood's future. Through interactive tools, community voting, and grassroots funding, we're putting the power where it belongs—in your hands.
- Visual Annotation Tools: Mark up site plans with drawings and sticky notes to show exactly what you envision.
- Community Voting: Vote BUILD or DEMOLISH on proposals from your neighbors.
- Grassroots Funding: Contribute directly to projects you believe in, like a neighborhood GoFundMe.
- Transparent Process: All proposals are public. See what your neighbors are proposing and add your voice.
Our Vision for Astoria
We envision a Halletts Point where the community decides what gets built. Where a great idea and community support—not corporate interests—determine what happens in our neighborhood. Where every resident, regardless of wealth or connections, can propose and fund improvements they want to see.
By giving residents the tools to organize, vote, and fund their own projects, we're creating a truly democratic approach to urban planning. Every vote, every contribution, every proposal brings us closer to a Halletts Point that reflects the will of the people who call it home.

Whether you're a long-time resident or new to the neighborhood, your voice matters. Join us in building a community where residents—not corporations or distant bureaucrats—shape the future of Halletts Point.
