Boys & Girls Club gets funding boost

The Press & Sun-Bulletin reported that the Boys & Girls Club has received a $250,000 shot in the arm from U.S. Rep. Maurice D. Hinchey, D-Hurley.

"It's a giant help," said the club's Resource Development Director Jocelyn Terranova. "This definitely helps to bring us one step closer to rounding this project off."

Including the funds garnered by Hinchey, the club has about $3.7 million of the $4.7 million needed for construction of its new handicapped-accessible, 21,500-square-foot facility, she said. The non-profit is seeking the remaining $1 million needed for the 90 Clinton Street facility.
Construction of the building will be completed shortly, Terranova said, and it should be occupied by late September or early October. Read more here.
