- On Wednesday, January
9th at 11 a.m., Olmsted personnel will meet
to plan an Olmsted Open House for contractors
and design consultants. As of December 1,
2001, all City agencies work with the same
group of approximately 500 bidders who are
all part of the City-Wide Bidders List. The
open house is aimed at educating this wider

Center is located inside Flushing Meadow-Corona
Park in Flushing.

Spring Boulevard, and Union Turnpike. The
bids were received at the Olmsted Center,
located inside Flushing Meadows-Corona Park
in Flushing, Queens.

Center, one of two Parks headquarters in Queens.
