EDGEMERE COMMUNITY CIVIC ASSOCIATION, INC. NEWSLETTER

Greetings Neighbor,

On August 6th, Queens Borough President Donovan Richard announced the Arverne East Aquatics Center coming to the Rockaway Peninsula in the near future. In addition our QBP donated $26M towards this aquatics center which will provide swim safety and swim equity. Arverne East Aquatics Center will also provide and indoor and outdoor pool with continuous swimming lessons.

We would also like to thank the following elected officials and agencies for donating and fighting for swim safety and equity: Governor Kathy Hochul, Councilmember Selvena Brooks-Powers, Stacey Phefer-Amato, Senator James Sanders, Jr., Congressmen Gregory Meeks, NYC Parks and the Arverne East Developers. Lastly, we would like to thank Edgemere Alliance for joining in the plight for this aquatics center. It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here!
