In State of the Borough, Reynoso vows to transform Borough Hall’s culture to ‘celebration through service’
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — In his first State of the Borough speech at New York City College of Technology on Wednesday evening, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso began by concentrating on his positive accomplishments.
He talked about Borough Hall sponsoring celebratory, feel-good events such as Lunar New Year, Disability Pride, Ramadan Iftar, Caribbean American Heritage Day and his office’s Thanksgiving food distribution.
He also talked about providing funding for CUNY campuses across the borough, electric ambulances for Hatzolah, NYCHA tenant associations, solar panels for new affordable housing and more. “We allocated the entirety of our capital funds — $45 million — to our three public hospitals for maternal health care improvements,” he pointed out.
