Long Island City, NY October 6, 2011 -
Dogs and their best friends are happier today in Long Island City.
Thanks to NYS, NYC, Queens West Development Corporation, and others, this dog friendly community now has a large and well designed dog run at the corner of Vernon Blvd and 48th Ave. The space replaces the dog run on 2nd Avenue that was taken by the city for the new high school and construction of affordable housing.
Some have estimated that over 1,000 dogs live in Long Island City.
On October 6th, the red ribbon was cut at an appropriate ceremony led by NYS Senator Michael Gianaris. As the OurLIC Video NEWS reveals, all elected officials representing Long Island City are true pet lovers.
The ceremony was attended by several of LIC's prominent puppies, each taking their turn at stealing center stage attention.
OurLIC attended the ribbon cutting ceremony and the post ceremony party. Videos and photos are presented with this article. Standby for more.
