Both I and my predecessor envisioned this day years ago and take great delight in today’s proceedings.” Since opening its doors in February, the NHL regulation-sized World Ice Arena has hosted almost 20,000 ice skaters from hockey players to figure skaters to speed skaters to community members who tried ice skating for the first time. The event featured an array of ice sports including a sled hockey demonstration and ice dancing performances by Ice Theatre of New York. The Ice Theatre of New York will be providing free performances and skating clinics at the World Ice Arena in April and May. To learn more, visit www.icetheatre.org. Participants also received hockey pucks and towels from the New York Rangers. The Flushing Meadows Corona Park World Ice Arena is part of a $66.3-million project to build a pool and ice rink and was funded by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Queens Borough President Helen Marshall and former Queens Borough President Claire Shulman. It is the largest facility ever built in a city park at 110,000-square-feet. Flushing Meadows Corona Park, one of New York City’s prized flagship parks, comprises 1,255 acres of beautifully landscaped lawns, lakes, fountains, athletic fields, playgrounds and a zoo. The park is also home to numerous cultural and athletic facilities including the Queens Museum of Art, Queens Theatre in the Park, Citi Field and the Billie Jean King USTA National Tennis Center.

Thank you all for being here. Special thanks to Dr. Mellow and her fantastic team here at LaGuardia Community College for hosting this year’s State of the Borough Address. If Queens is The World’s Borough, then LaGuardia is The World’s School. Its 45,000 students come from more than 150 countries and speak 96 different languages. It’s been a pleasure to provide more than $5.6 million for upgrades to the college’s science labs, library and more. So Gail, keep the projects coming and I’ll keep the money flowing. Thank you to our sponsor, JetBlue. How about a hand for our hometown airline? Thank you to all of our Community Board chairs, district managers and members for coming today. Taking time to volunteer to ensure community input is a necessary yet oftentimes thankless and underappreciated service you render. For lending your expertise and for your devotion to civic life that is trademark to Queens, on behalf of our 2.35 million residents, I thank you. Speaking of service, I also want to recognize our Honor Guard, as well as all our veterans in attendance. Much more on our heroes today. I'd also like to recognize my predecessor, former Borough President Claire Shulman, as well as former speaker of the New York City Council, Peter Vallone, Sr. And I see we've also been joined by our city Comptroller, Scott Stringer.
