S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) joined officials and members of the Flushing YMCA to commemorate $1.5 million in federal funding that she recently secured to help the YMCA construct its new building in downtown Flushing. The new building will expand the amount of space for the many needed programs and services that the YMCA provides to local families, seniors, and youth, allowing even more Queens residents to take advan\u00adtage of all that the Flushing YMCA has to offer. The project will also replace the Flushing YMCA\u2019s current location on the corner of Northern Boulevard and Bowne Street (across from Flushing High School), which is an aging 100-year- old facility. \u201cThis crucial federal funding that I brought back from Washington will help make the Flushing YMCA\u2019s new home a reality,\u201d said Congresswoman Meng. \u201cThis new and modern building will feature additional space and improved services that will help the YMCA do an even better job in serving the growing population in Flushing and the surrounding areas. I am always proud to obtain funding that improves and benefits our borough, and I cannot wait until the project is complete.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Credit: YMCA of Greater New York U.
