HOLLOWAY, LYNETTE. "NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: CENTRAL QUEENS; At Last, the 107th Moves In. " New York Times [New York, N.Y.] 17 Apr. 1994, Late Edition (East Coast): A.9. National Newspapers (27). ProQues
The first article I found was about the 107 police station. The article told how after many in its desired home spot, just across the street from the Electchester shopping center. The police would have moved into the building earlier, but there were many repairs needed. When it all came down to it, a deal was made and the police would move out of their old building, into the newly renovated building which had been teasing them for months now. Although the police had an old headquarters, it was not as roomy as they would have liked. They used to stay in a building, which once was a one-story parking garage. Prior to the police station being taken over, cops used to park in residential areas, taking spots, which could have been used by the people. When the project was done, the police had a parking lot equipped with 122 parking spots. Although the people of electchester felt more safe after the police moved into the station and patrolled the area more carefully. Although there were complaints about how effectively they do there job, residents were still happy. months of fighting and many repairs being needed, the station was finally going to be built.
