$158 million campus expected to ease crowding in Queens borough

From The New York Daily News: After years of setbacks, a campus made up of three new public schools is on track to open next fall in the Forest Hills section of New York City. Many residents hope the nearly 2,000 new seats at the $158 million Metropolitan Avenue Campus will alleviate severe crowding in local schools. The campus is to house a locally zoned high school, a combined district middle and high school, and a special education program. City officials say no decision about which schools will occupy the campus will be made until early next year.
