"After we held ExxonMobil accountable for its careless destruction of the Greenpoint environment, the Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund has invested millions of dollars in restoring the neighborhood and bringing residents together," James said in a statement.
"GCEF invested more than $68.6 million in the Greenpoint community's environmental initiatives. It was established as part of the state's 2010 settlement with ExxonMobil to compensate the community for allowing millions of gallons of oil to contaminate its land and groundwater for more than five decades."
"Projects funded by GCEF include Greenpoint Library and Environmental Education Center, environmental programs at Greenpoint Eco-Schools, tree and flower planting through Greening Greenpoint and the ongoing Monsignor McGolrick Park restoration, along with the creation of numerous rooftop gardens, 19 park upgrades, community garden improvements and more."
