FORT HAMILTON — A NEW HIGHWAY SIGN HONORING VETERANS WAS UNVEILED FRIDAY at the 92nd Street Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge Overpass, which is adjacent to the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton. State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton (D-23) joined military leaders, elected officials and veterans’ advocates for the unveiling of the Fort Hamilton Veterans Memorial Highway sign. The Fort Hamilton Veterans Memorial Highway designation recognizes the Fort Hamilton base as an integral part of Brooklyn’s military history. As the last active-duty military installation in New York City, Fort Hamilton continues to play a crucial role in national defense, community engagement, and veteran support. The New York State Senate passed Scarcella-Spanton’s legislation, Senate Bill S9764, which Gov. Kathy Hochul signed in 2024, making the veterans highway designation possible.
