Community Meeting to Discuss Jamaica Bay Reformulation Study

Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) will host a community meeting where the Army Corps of Engineers and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will present the latest version of plans for protecting the Rockaway Peninsula, Broad Channel, the East Rockaway Inlet to Rockaway Inlet, and the Jamaica Bay Reformulation Study.

This is a community meeting the residents of Arverne/ Historic Somerville, Edgemere, Bayswater, and the eastern end of the Peninsula have been demanding for some time.  Continuous flooding during high tide and disastrous weather have been plaguing the Rockaway community for years.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 25, 2016 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Macedonia Baptist Church located at 330 Beach 67th Street, Arverne, NY 11692.

Please come out and see the new plans and let your voices and concerns be heard.
