Savino reopens her office in storm-torn Coney Island
In a sign that Coney Island is bouncing back from the destruction of Hurricane Sandy, state Sen. Diane Savino announced that she has reopened her district office there.
Savino (D-Brooklyn-Staten Island) reopened her office at 2872 West 15th St. She had maintained an office at that location from the time she was elected in 2004. Savino also has an office on the Staten Island side of her senate district.
The Coney Island office was closed for five months due to damage from Superstorm Sandy, the lawmaker said. The office, like many buildings in Coney Island, was completely submerged in the storm. Equipment was destroyed and office furniture was damaged beyond repair, Savino said.
