On Potential Unrest

The Throggs Neck BID has met with the NYPD on an unlikely, but nevertheless potential, problem. On Friday, January 27, videotape of the incident in Memphis will be aired on news channels. Some have suggested that it may provoke violent demonstrations. In the unlikely event this does occur, the Police suggest closing early and closing your gates, or boarding windows. Turn cameras to face the street. If you hear or see something, call the 45 precinct. Again, a problem is unlikely, but this information has been forwarded just in case.

On Thursday, January 19, the Throggs Neck BID held its Annual Meeting.

Chairman Anthony Basso noted his pride at the extraordinary achievements of the organization, particularly in light of the COVID challenge.

Vice Chairman John Sisto presented the BID’s financial report.

Executive Director Bob Jaen outlined plans for further accomplishments in the current year, including the installation of decorative and traffic-safety planter boxes throughout the BID. He noted that, thanks to BID-sponsored services such as a security patrol and private sanitation, the area has become far cleaner and safer. He discussed an exploratory effort towards establishing a free shuttle bus service. He added that over twenty new businesses have opened in the BID since the pandemic concluded.

45 Police Precinct Captain Johnny Orellana spoke about the partnership the BID has engaged in with the NYPD to keep the community safe, and the efforts of his team to fight crime.
