Groundbreaking is set to begin on Staten Island's New York Wheel and shopping outlets in March.

A ceremony will be held at Richmond County Ball Park on March 10 for the groundbreaking of the New York Wheel and Empire Outlets.

The $230 million waterfront ferris wheel will bring riders 60 feet above the water.

Next to it, the Empire Outlets will be built.

The complex will boast 100 designer shops and a 190-room hotel.

The goal is to make Staten Island a destination for tourists.
