Golden makes sure senior citizens ride in style with new van
State Sen. Marty Golden (R-Bay Ridge-southern Brooklyn) arrived at the Bay Ridge Center, a senior citizen facility, just before the start of lunch on Dec. 17. Even though they were hungry, the seniors didn’t mind Golden delaying the start of their meal. After all, he was delivering good news.
Golden came to the center, located in the basement of Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Ovington Avenue, to announce that he had secured $65,000 in state funding to allow the center to purchase a van to replace a vehicle that had been totaled in a serious car accident last March on Colonial Road.
The van had been transporting senior citizens from the center, dnainfo.com reported, and several of the passengers were injured in the crash. The victims eventually recovered from their injuries, Golden said.
