A Bronx Little League team
scored a home run in the form of a major
funding on Saturday.
The Throgs Neck Little League was presented with a $1.2
million check from Bronx Borough
President Vanessa Gibson and Council Member
Marjorie Velasquez.
The money, which was fought for by the community and budgeted by
the city, will go solar
panels that will help energize the park.
League organizers tell News 12 about one-third of their
budget goes toward their Con Edison bill. They say that thanks to the funding, the money they
save will go toward team needs.
The solar panels will be installed by Millennial Energy and team organizers
say a timeline is in the works. They say any extra energy these panels create will
go toward the community.
