$12 Million in Council Funding Slated for Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst
The City Council’s 2019 Fiscal Year budget is looking like a good one for southern Brooklyn, with $12 million alone slated for Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst.
The total includes funding for local public schools, parks and non-profits (including local theater groups, little leagues, senior centers and bigger groups like the Arab American Association of New York), Councilmember Justin Brannan told this paper.
Non-profits and schools will each see $2 million in Council funding, Brannan said, with schools in his district set to see a few new auditoriums, a bevy of technological upgrades, laptops and more.
