Council Member Mealy thanks the Speaker and budget team, then highlights the co-naming of HL Apostolic Mecca Way for Greater Bible Way Temple, which has served Crown Heights for over 80 years, and Reverend Clinton M. Miller Way.
Thank you.
I want to thank the speaker, and then for her leadership with this budget.
I want to thank all the budget team for doing such a great job.
And I just want to thank all my community for our Old Street naming we just had last Saturday, the co-naming of the southeast corner of Rochester Avenue and Lincoln Place as HL
Apostolic Mecca Way.
I want to thank Apostle U.L.
Rogers, Reverend Herbert Daughtry, Teamster President, President Ford, District Leader Anthony T.
Jones for coming out that day.
This co-naming is for more than 80 years.
The Greater Bible Way Temple has been a cornerstone of Crown Heights, located on Rochester Avenue for over three decades.
This church has been more than just a place of worship.
It has been a place of refuge, service, and community care.
The church has consistently met the real needs of the community.
Its Bible Way Learning Center also educated local children for decades, helping to shape professionals who continue to come back every year.
This institution has uplifted generations through both faith and action, offering spiritual guidance alongside practical support.
The co-naming of RL Apostolic Mecca Way reflects its legacy as a gathering place and a beacon of hope for the community it has served so faithfully.
And I want to thank you for co-naming.
