Flagstar will close two of its South Queens banks later this year: Clocktower Plaza, above, at 92-10 Atlantic Ave. in Ozone Park, and 93-22 Jamaica Ave. in Woodhaven. The closures have sparked concern among community members and advocates, particularly in Ozone Park, where the Clocktower branch serves many residents with mobility challenges.
