Fresh trees are now decorating the Maspeth Memorial Square thanks to local leaders.
Maspeth Memorial Square, located on Grand Avenue and 69th Street, is a memorial ground of plaques and benches that honor Maspeth residents, veterans and the 19 Firefighters from Maspeth’s FDNY Squad 288 & HAZMAT 1, who died on 9/11. New trees are now planted in the square.
Maspeth Federal Savings Bank — its main office located at 56-18 69th St. — showed off the new addition on a social media post on Thursday, May 13. They were able to partner Assemblyman Brian Barnwell, community members, leaders of Communities of Maspeth and Elmhurst Together (COMET) and state offices in order to plant the trees.
