Marine Corps Base at Floyd Bennett Field to see upgrades
Upgrades are in the works for Brooklyn’s Marine Corps Base at Floyd Bennett Field.
After incorporating several military-based priorities for the state into a military construction appropriations bill, Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced that the bill—which includes a $2.4 million facility upgrade at the Brooklyn Navy Reserve Center—has passed through Congress and is on its way to the president’s desk.
“The Brooklyn Marine Corps base is in need of additional space to store critical equipment and vehicles to help those who serve our country. I am pleased this $2.4 million in funding has now passed Congress, so we can ensure the Brooklyn Marine Corps Base has the proper resources it needs for our troops,” said Schumer.
