Jamaica Hill Community Association

$1,000,000 allocation for Captain Tilly Park

Letter to JHCA from James Gennaro

I am also proud to announce I was successful in securing a $1,000,000 allocation for the Captain Tilly Park. The Million Dollar grant will make sure that the park is renovated and that new play equipment and safety surfaces are installed as well as many more improvements. I look forward to participating in a scoping meeting of the park with members from the JHCA and the staff of the Department of Parks so that any improvements made to the park are in the best interests of the community. I am also in discussions with the Department of Parks and am asking them to place a full-time park employee who will be stationed at Captain Tilly Park. I will keep you updated on the progress of these conversations.

I am privileged to have the opportunity to award the Jamaica Hill Community Association an allocation in the amount of $3,000 for operational and programmatic expenses. The JHCA is an organization that is extremely active and involved with the community and I am honored to contribute to the great work that the JHCA does.

I am happy to be of assistance to the Jamaica Hill community. Please feel free to contact me or my Chief of Staff, Jeff Leb at 718-217-4969 with any questions or concerns.
Thank you
James F. Gennaro
