Jeffries to hold town hall on Sandy relief efforts
More than a year after Superstorm Sandy hit New York City, residents in shorefront communities are still struggling to recover.
U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, whose congressional district takes in parts of storm-damaged Bergen Beach, Mill Basin and Canarsie, will host a town hall meeting on Monday, Dec. 16, at 9502 Seaview Ave. (second floor), at 7 p.m.
The purpose of the town hall is to provide residents with the opportunity to learn more about Sandy recovery efforts and to help officials understand where assistance is still needed, according to an announcement on the congressman’s website.
Many New Yorkers are still struggling to recover after Superstorm Sandy, especially home and business owners in Canarsie, Mill Basin and Bergen Beach, Jeffries said.
