JCC to receive grant for alarm system upgrade

The Mid Island Y JCC in Plainview was recently awarded a grant to be applied towards upgrading its fire alarm system in accordance with current Town of Oyster Bay code. Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) spearheaded efforts to secure the grant funds from the HotelMotel Occupancy Tax Fund.

“For more than 60 years, the Mid Island Y JCC has served the residents of Plainview-Old Bethpage and neighboring communities by offering a diversified portfolio of services that benefit patrons of all ages,” Legislator

Drucker said. “I am proud to support this important community institution and thank my colleagues for approving this Hotel-Motel Occupancy Tax Fund grant.”

In addition to an array of monthly community events, the Mid Island Y JCC’s programming includes an early childhood center; leadership training; shuttle service to the library; transportation for seniors to the grocery store; in-home nursing for seniors; swimming instruction and lifeguard training; and more.
