Greetings Neighbor and Happy Saturday!

We hope your weekend is going well when you read this. Rain is in the forecast so let’s hope it’ll bring us some relief with the heat and humidity. As we push through this season, be sure to check on your neighbors and keep a close eye on our furry friends, especially the ones that don’t have a home.

COMMUNITY

ECCA joined the CAB (Community Advisory Board) meeting on Thursday, July 11th at 8pm. If you’re not familiar, L&M Development (the developers of the Arverne East project) would like to hear from the community when it comes to our needs. Sadly, most who were in attendance did not live in this community. We believe it’s very important to attend these meetings as we have people outside of this community speaking for us and telling the developers what’s best for us. ECCA suggested they knock on doors to try to get you and others involved when it comes to developing within this community. We ask that you not only attend the civic meetings but also get involved with what’s going on in the community, our community! ECCA also pointed out the disservice L&M has done by not reaching out to the community prior to breaking ground and not producing a community benefits agreement with a list of things promised to us while developing in our community. In closing, please keep a lookout for emails pertaining to future meetings about our community.

Shuttle Trains will run between Rockaway Park 116th Street and Far Rockaway Station every 20 mins.

Free Shuttle Buses will run between Howard Beach-JFK and Beach 67th Street making stops at Beach Channel and Beach 90th Streets.
