纽约州拨款1000万美元翻修曼哈顿14街Y:州政府总支持达1500万美元

纽约州州长 Kathy Hochul 10月30日宣布,州政府将拨款1000万美元,支持位于纽约州纽约县曼哈顿下城的 Sol Goldman YM-YWHA(14街Y)进行大规模翻修。加上州参议员 Brian Kavanagh 另行争取的500万美元,州政府对该项目的总支持达到1500万美元;整个翻修工程预计耗资5230万美元,将分阶段实施。
14街Y隶属教育联盟(Educational Alliance),是曼哈顿59街以南唯一的犹太社区中心(JCC),纽约联合犹太呼吁联合会(UJA-Federation of New York)为合作伙伴。该中心每年服务数以万计的居民,项目涵盖艺术文化、幼儿教育、夏令营、健身与游泳、犹太生活及长者服务;其建筑部分基础设施已老化停用,亟需更新。
州长办公室表示,这笔州级资金将用于修复和现代化改造这座社区地标,让中心在未来数十年继续服务下城居民。项目其余资金将由机构自筹与分期投入补齐,翻修期间中心将分阶段维持运营。
New York Commits $10 Million to Renovate Manhattan's 14th Street Y: Total State Support Reaches $15 Million
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on October 30 that the state will provide $10 million to support a major renovation of the Sol Goldman YM-YWHA, known as the 14th Street Y, in downtown Manhattan, New York County. With an additional $5 million secured by State Senator Brian Kavanagh, total state support for the project reaches $15 million; the full renovation is projected to cost $52.3 million and will proceed in phases.
Part of the Educational Alliance, the 14th Street Y is the only Jewish Community Center in Manhattan south of 59th Street, with UJA-Federation of New York as a partner. The center serves tens of thousands of people each year through arts and culture programming, early childhood education, summer camps, fitness and aquatics, Jewish life programs and older adult services, while parts of its building infrastructure have fallen out of service and require renewal.
The governor's office said the state funding will help restore and modernize the community landmark so it can keep serving downtown residents for decades. The remaining project cost will be covered by the institution's own fundraising and phased investment, and the center expects to maintain operations in stages during construction.
