Ram, as he is most often known, said he would be honored to attend our
meeting. Ram will talk to us about how as the new president of the
Queens Village Civic he is endeavoring to jump start the business district
which has seen its Chamber of Commerce fold and an attempt by a couple
of merchants to restart it fail. Queens Village had begun a plan
for commercial revitalization before Bellerose did, but these efforts are
always difficult and require much perseverance.
We are also interested, due to our proximity to central Queens Village, to hear about other projects such as the transient motel that was stopped by the Buildings Department and what will come of that site. Also, what efforts are being made to attract new members and strengthen the organization to make it more effective in im-proving and preserving the Queens Village community.
We ask that all of you come out and demonstrate by your presence that we are all willing to work together for the common good.
Queens Village and Bellerose have always worked together despite an
issue in the recent past that was a manufactured division, and not a substantive
one.
Another grant request, this one for the 1999-2000 fiscal year was made
to two local state Senators for two studies:
1) analyze and make recommendations regarding parking on Jamaica Avenue/Jericho
Turnpike, and
2) study the feasibility of converting the Bellerose Theatre into a
movie theatre/performing arts space, including determining if there is
a market for such a facility.
If approved, the money would become effective in April.
At our February meeting, Creedmoor Civic voted to pay its JBBDDC
1999 dues.
