  $425,000 to the Bay Terrace library, which was the last closed library branch to reopen this month. Queens Public Library President and CEO Dennis M. Walcott said that Vallone's allocation helps " Queens Public Library meet its mission to provide free access to information, knowledge and opportunity for all."

  $2.75 million to renovate the soccer fields at Bayside's Raymond O'Connor Park — a project that's in partnership with City Council Speaker Corey Johnson. 

   

  • Friends of Crocheron & John Golden Park received funds to support its park planting and cleanup events.

  • Bayside Little League, which is playing at a long-awaited revamped park this season, got funds for upgrading equipment.

  • The Korean American Family Services Center received funding for its domestic violence and economic empowerment programs as well as its emergency shelter and after-school space.
