Council Member Marjorie Velázquez - What's Happening in District 13

 

Dear Neighbor,

This week is filled with exciting news, and I’m happy to announce this year’s winning Participatory Budgeting projects. The community came together and selected three projects to support our students in STEM, provide critical technology upgrades to our libraries, and enhance public safety throughout the district. For more information on this year’s projects, please scroll to ‘Participatory Budgeting.’ 

I’m also happy to share that the MTA Mobile Sales Van now has a permanent parking spot at 3033 Middletown Road. Community members can stop by the van to ask questions about their MetroCard, apply for reduced fares, and more.

In this week’s email, you will find information regarding upcoming events, educational opportunities for our youth, community resources, and information for caregivers. We’ve also updated our ‘Career Corner’ with opportunities at local nonprofit organizations. For those interested in learning about upcoming events and community resources, please scroll to ‘What’s Happening in District 13’ and ‘Community Resources.’ 

In the meantime, if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please call us at  (718) 931-1721 or email us at District13@council.nyc.gov.

Wishing you all a beautiful and joyous weekend.

Sincerely,

Council Member Marjorie Velázquez
