Plans to restore the New York State Pavilion at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park have been inching along slowly over the past five years.

The New York State Pavilion was built for the 1964 World's Fair to"embody the architectural essence of Space Age futurism." The massive structure in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park ended up remaining for decades longer than intended, after it was deemed"too expensive to tear down." Restoration has been contemplated for years, and now plans to restore the"Tent of Tomorrow" are moving forward — with over $24 million in funding.
