A public hearing is scheduled in Manhattan next week for the proposed site of a new elementary school on the Jackson Heights/Woodside border.

The hearing will take place on Tuesday at 250 Broadway in Manhattan, 16th Floor. The agenda, which includes other proposals for schools in Ozone Park, Brooklyn and Staten Island, kicks off at 11 a.m.

If approved, the proposed 450-seat elementary school would sit at 69-01 34th Ave., the former site of White Castle’s regional headquarters. Community Board 3 approved the building plan in May.

The school would serve grades pre-K through five.

According to School Construction Authority documents, the school is expected to open its doors in 2019.

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
