Pouch Camp Support Letter
The Grant City Civic Association has submitted the following:
We, the members of the Grant City Civic Association (GCCA), would like to make you aware of our recent decision to support the preservation of the land containing the William H. Pouch Scout Camp, centrally located in the Staten Island Greenbelt.
The GCCA was formed in response to the blatant overdevelopment occurring in our community along with the numerous negative side-effects generated by the increase of population density. From this stance, we believe that the complete protection of the William H. Pouch Scout Camp, from development, is of the utmost importance to avoid a repeat of past land-use errors.
The 140 acres of parkland has provided countless hours of recreation for generations of New Yorkers and immeasurable benefits to the already highly stressed ecology of Staten Island. We implore you to make every effort to prevent the loss of an irreplaceable natural component of Staten Island’s infrastructure.
Yours truly,
On behalf of the members of the Grant City Civic Association,
Daniel Kennedy
Secretary, Grant City Civic Association

Census 2010
The 2010 United States Census has begun!
At our meeting on November 12, 2009, Marianne Maloney and her team stressed the importance of an accurate count. Our communities rely on government funding based on population. Without full participation, we get short-changed of public services, such as hospitals and schools.
The new Census form has been reduced to a total of 10 querstions.
All information remains confidential and, by law, cannot be disclosed.
