After years of unsuccessful attempts by various local organizations and officials, the Throggs Neck BID managed, (thanks to the efforts of Executive Director Bob Jaen) in its very first year of operations, to get an evergreen tree planted at Derosa O’Boyle Triangle. With the assistance of Rubin Farrah of Councilmember Gjonaj’s office and the enthusiastic help of the Parks Department’s Nave Strauss, an Oriental Spruce was planted on, fittingly enough, Christmas Eve. The tree will be dedicated to First Responders and Essential Workers at a special ceremony scheduled for early 2021.
