Concierge Pediatrics opening Grant aids Glen Cove VFW rebuild

Nearly a year and a half after a fre forced the closure of the building where the group meets, a state grant secured by state Assemblymember Charles Lavine will push the group a step closer to reaching their fnal goal of securing the necessary funding to complete the rebuilding process.

The group had met regularly in the basement of the century-old building on Hill Street in Glen Cove which was heavily damaged in the August 2021 blaze.

Lavine was joined by members of the VFW along with Glen Cove City Councilwomen Marsha Silverman and Danielle Fugazy Scagliola to announce the grant.

“A horrible fre took place here and many of us never thought we’d be able to restore the building, that’s how extensive the fre was,” Lavine said. “Thanks to this grant, this building will continue to be a jewel for the City of Glen Cove. We are very, very proud of that and anything we can do to help the veterans who’ve done so much to help America and protect America, that’s a good day in my book.”
