The New York City Football Club’s state-of-the-art stadium in Willets Point will add thousands of jobs and transform
Willets Point to an important national location. The project will provide an incredible opportunity for New York’s hardworking union members throughout the city.
“The Cement & Concrete Workers District Council is pleased to enthusiastically support the New York City Football Club’s investment in our city,” said Angelo Angelone, Business Manager, New York State Laborers’ Cement & Concrete Workers District Council. “The construction of the stadium will provide a tremendous economic boost for Willets Point and is another step forward in reinvigorating the community – a continuing post-pandemic priority. Our members work hard to keep our city moving forward and have earned the opportunity to work on this project. As always, we are ready to build.”
This 25,000-seat stadium is the first major sports arena to be built since 2012. The 23-acre project will include 2500 units of housing and a 260-room hotel. The entire cost of this $780 million project will be funded by the soccer team.
