$50,000 State Grant will Help Repair, Renovate Ossining American Legion Post

New York State Senator David Carlucci (D – Rockland/Westchester) has secured a $50,000 grant for the Ossining American Legion Post.

At a meeting with his Veterans Advisory Council Feb. 24, Carlucci presented the money as a ceremonial big check.

The New York state grant will help Post 506 repair and modernize their building on South Highland Avenue, including the roof and the kitchen.

“The Ossining American Legion does wonderful things for our community,” said Carlucci in a press release. “Whether it’s providing a meeting place and programs for our veterans, or awarding scholarships to local students, they are constantly giving back. It’s an honor to work with Commander Frank Faiella, to ensure that our veterans have a comfortable and safe place to make meet.”
