Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on communities in Southeast Queens. The bill would require OLTPS to consult with environmental justice organizations when conducting such study. Finally, the bill would require OLTPS and other relevant agencies to recommend and implement city programs to mitigate any adverse environmental and health effects found in such study, and recommend to the mayor any amendments to the city’s JFK lease agreement based on the study.
