Senate Awards $1 Million Grant For Selden Park Complex

Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) has awarded the Town of Brookhaven a $1 million grant for construction at the Selden Park Complex.

The grant will help fund phase 3 of the park construction, which includes the construction of two baseball fields and a playground.

“I thank Senator Flanagan, who has always been helpful in my council district, for coming through time after time to support the community," Councilman Kevin LaValle said. "This park has been a real joint effort by the Town, State and the Suffolk County Legislature, with Legislator Tom Muratore leading the charge and when the work is complete, it will be one of the premier recreation facilities in all of Brookhaven Town. I thank everyone who had a hand in moving it along.”

“I am thrilled to assist the Town of Brookhaven with its ongoing construction of Selden Park Complex,” Flanagan said.“Councilman LaValle has spearheaded the development of critical park resources for the Selden community including ballfields, playgrounds and walkable nature trails for all ages to enjoy. This state grant of $1 million will help the Town pursue its goal of providing all Brookhaven residents with state-of-the-art recreational facilities and it is a pleasure to join them in this effort.”
