 Borough President Vito Fossella issued the following statement regarding the confirmation by Mayor Eric Adams that no homeless shelter is being pursued at 4932 Arthur Kill Road in Richmond Valley. He also presented the message in a Facebook video.
“For the past two weeks, we joined South Shore residents to share our concerns and call for clarity about a potential homeless shelter being sited at 4932 Arthur Kill Road. We spoke directly with the Mayor to stress our opposition, and, fortunately, he confirmed that the City is not pursuing a homeless shelter at this location. This is a breath of relief for the residents, and we thank them for being persistent and making their concerns heard. As we said from day one, those who want to do bad by our Island have a committed opponent, and we will continue to stay on top of this location and others on Staten Island.” Comments are closed.
