(FREEPORT, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislator Seth I. Koslow (D - Merrick) is thrilled to announce that Freeport-based Cedarmore Corporation is on track to receive a $50,000 grant in support of its mission of youth enrichment and education.
The Legislature’s Rules committee voted unanimously on Wednesday, Nov. 13 in favor of releasing the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding; final approval from the full Nassau County Legislature could come as early as its scheduled Wednesday, Nov. 20 meeting.
For more than 25 years, the Cedarmore Corporation has committed itself to educating, elevating, and empowering local youth to excel in every aspect of their lives. Spanning academics and athletics to financial and holistic wellbeing, Cedarmore provides “dynamic, cutting-edge programming designed to develop tomorrow’s leaders today” through experiential learning.
“As a father, I am keenly focused on ensuring that we equip our youth with the real-world skills that will position them to thrive in future leadership roles,” Legislator Koslow said. “Since opening its doors, Cedarmore Corporation programs have touched the lives of more than 35,000 participants, and these ARPA funds will help them fully rebound from the pandemic and further amplify their outreach to communities they have served so well for more than a quarter of a century. I am thrilled by the Rules committee’s action and look forward to a unanimous vote by the full Legislature on Nov. 20.”
