“The members of Post 215 served our community and our nation with pride and distinction, so I am thrilled to support their efforts to improve their meeting facility,” Tartaglione said.
“We are enhancing security for the vets that visit the facility as well as the community that uses the center,” Post 215 Commander M.B. Kanis said.
The Post, 913 Tyson Ave., welcomes 1,800 to 3,000 visitors each month. Its $116,485 grant is being administered by the state Department of Community and Economic Development.
