Treyger wants task force to focus on Sandy recovery at churches
Councilmember Mark Treyger is pushing hard for the creation of a special city task force to study the damage that houses of worship and charitable organizations suffered during Hurricane Sandy and the expenses they incurred while helping victims during and after the 2012 storm.
Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst), chairman of the council’s Committee on Recovery and Resiliency, and held a public hearing on his task force proposal in mid-December.
The councilmember is now working with the de Blasio Administration to hammer out details of how the task force would operate, according to a spokesman, who told the Brooklyn Eagle that the lawmaker expects the proposal to move forward for a vote by the full council at some point in the next few months.
