A day to show community spirit at Todt Hill Houses

Diane J. Savino

STATEN ISLAND, NY - CASTLETON CORNERS - The skies were still dark on Saturday morning when William Ambio began hosing down the grounds of the Todt Hill Houses and setting up tables in preparation for a communitywide celebration.

Music echoed throughout the complex - first from a DJ, and then from KISS-FM, which broadcast at the event from 2 to 4 p.m. Rep. Michael McMahon (D-Staten Island/Brooklyn), State Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) and City Councilwoman Debi Rose (D-North Shore) were expected to show up later.
 
Ambio, a 36-year resident, said the new board is working to make improvements to the 504-unit development, such as painting the benches outside, installing security cameras and possibly, a computer lab.
