1137688 - Ashanti cuts ribbon for The Beacon 3

BY JILL NOSSA GLEN COVE HERALD — July 15, 2021 [email protected]

For the past few months, the Garvies Point waterfront development project has hit major milestones as new construction begins and other projects reach completion. The completion of the Beacon condominium project was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last month, an event that not only warranted the attendance of local elected officials but also caught the eye of Ashanti, a Glen Cove native who had the honor of cutting the ribbon. “It’s amazing to see the success and how much Glen Cove has grown,” Ashan- ti said. “These buildings are beautiful. It shows the progression and love in the community. I’m happy to be back in my hometown to celebrate this.” “I’ve built a lot of buildings,” Joe Graziose, RXR Realty’s executive vice president for residential construction and development said, “but here I am today celebrating one of the greatest moments in my career.” Graziose said that one reason it felt so great is that the project was built in his hometown. “This has been a magical journey for us,” he said, “one that, for me, started 50 years when I was playing on this same ground we’re standing on.” The area of a former industrial site along Glen Cove Creek has undergone a major transformation over the past sever- Photos courtesy Tab Hauser al decades, dating to the 1970s when Glen ASHANTI AND MAYOR Tim Tenke cut the ribbon together.

40 YEARS AGO, Long Island lost one of our neighbors who, Newsday called, “one of the GLEN COVE HERALD — July 15, 2021 most important Long Islanders of the 20th Century”. Through his music, stories, live performances and social activism, HARRY CHAPIN was credited with inﬂuencing the song, “We Are the World.” Some have stated that Harry Chapin also inspired USA for Africa and Live Aid. We also know that he founded two organizations, WHY Hunger and Long Island Cares, Inc., along with the 1977 Presidential Commission on Hunger under former President Jimmy Carter. On July 16, 1981 while thousands of his fans gathered in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow for one of his many free concerts to raise awareness of hunger, Harry Chapin died in an automobile accident on the Long Island Expressway. Forty years later, Harry Chapin’s legacy continues through the work of our organization. For forty years, Harry’s fans continue to contribute to our work in many ways. His words about ending hunger still resonate with our staff, volunteers, donors and fellow musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel,Dee Snyder and Darryl ‘Run DMC’ McDaniels who have all supported Long Island Cares, Inc.-The Harry Chapin Regional Food Bank. Although we will never know just how successful Harry would have been if he were still alive, we do know that he would be very proud IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS ASSISTANCE, of the work that Long Island Cares PLEASE CALL US AT 631.582.FOOD (3663) continues to do to support our neighbors in need and to carry on his legacy.
