Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corps gets the rights to their land

"BSVAC has answered the call for nearly 40 years-without the security of a permanent home. Our land-conveyance bill will finally change that: with Governor Hochul's signature, BSVAC will own 727 Greene Avenue, unlocking the $6 million in state funding I secured to build a modern health and wellness center.
