Rep. Lee Zeldin Announces Over $1.2 Million in Federal Funding to Repair Mascot Dock in Patchogue

Statement

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, C -- NY-1), member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, today announced $1,235,184.50 in federal funding to repair Mascot Dock, which is located at the end of South Ocean Avenue in Patchogue Village. Parts of the dock, including the boardwalk, were severely damaged during Super Storm Sandy and Tropical Storm Irene.

Congressman Lee Zeldin said, "I am proud to announce that Patchogue will receive the necessary funding to repair and restore Mascot Dock, a recreational spot for local residents that draws visitors from across Long Island. Unfortunately, parts of the dock were severely damaged during Sandy and Irene. Through the federal funding secured, Patchogue Village will now have the funding needed to rebuild the boardwalk, as well as install new lighting, curbing, benches, and garbage cans, ensuring Mascot Dock is fully repaired and restored. Long Island is still recovering from the storms that devastated our communities over the past few years, but this funding will go a long way to protect, restore and strengthen our local community so that Long Island can rebuild stronger than before."
