Friday, June 13th was groundbreaking ceremony for the new Carmine Carro Community Center.
The new Marine Park Community Center will be the Parks Department’s first state-of-the-art Green Building. With solar panels, a geo-thermal heating and cooling system, and a planted roof, this building is an example of the City’s commitment to an environmentally-friendly 21 st century.
The future Community Center will be named after Carmine Carro, the late President of the Marine Park Civic Association. It will feature multipurpose rooms for recreation and community programs to serve people of all ages. It will also include fully-accessible bathrooms, a kitchen, skylights and administrative offices and storage space.
The Center is funded in the amount of $11 million with $8 million from Mayor Bloomberg, $1.4 million from Council Member Fidler, $1.1 million from Senator Golden, $500,000 from Assembly Member Maisel and $30,000 from Assembly Member Weinstein.
