Bay Ridge Needs You on Saturday

The Pastor at the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church is the nicest man.
The church has had a food pantry for a long time and families actually go there to get what they need.
On Saturday, April 17th, Bay Ridge Cares is having a collection at the Presbyterian Church. Stock your car with some canned food items, pull up and Bay Ridge Cares will safely social distance and unload the items. (SO NICE)

April 12, 2021A Million Dollars Was Given For An Office Renovation…But Not For a Government Owned Building

How come no one mentioned the office renovation that costs $1,120,000 ?

Over a million dollars for an office renovation?!!
When I saw it, I thought it was a mistake, so I refreshed the screen. You can see it here – choose capital funding and type in Brannan.
I’m not sure what type of renovation would have a $1.1 million dollar price tag, except if they are tearing down the building and putting up a new one. (And adding marble and gold to the building!)
Why didn’t Councilman Brannan mention this project?

The building hasn’t been purchased for the community, so I am not sure what happened here.
The building is owned by the non-for-profit group. Acris shows a churches name and NIA years ago, but now it’s just NIA.
This $1.1 million dollars is over the funding given for the programs. NIA also received this money:

Bay Ridge does not have a community center and it looks like this is the reason why!
If the building was government-owned, like this one on 86th Street, the use of over a million dollars for renovations would be understandable.

We are in a global pandemic, NYC doesn’t have money, but there is over a million dollars for an office remodeling? I don’t understand why Brannan would think this would be urgent when there are people having trouble just eating and living right now.

— NYPD Crime Stoppers (@NYPDTips) April 12, 2021
The NYPD shared this photo with the Daily News reporter on Sunday, April 11th. Why is there such a delay in getting that information to the public?
Here’s the strange part: The reporter said that the cops want the publics help. If they want our help, why wouldn’t they share that info right away.
The politicians in this area do not share information from the police. We have politicians tweeting stupid information about the governor, instead of alerting the community that there is danger in the area.
There was an assault at this station in late February (see here), heroin use in this station and now this!
