Asm. Sam Pirozzolo Confirms Migrants Will NOT Be Housed At Staten Island Manor Rd Armory

ASSEMBLYMAN SAM PIROZZOLO ISSUES UPDATE ON RUMORS OF MIGRANTS BEING HOUSED AT THE STATEN ISLAND ARMORY

The welcome update comes after Assemblyman Pirozzolo wrote to Governor Hochul seeking confirmation that no migrants will be housed at this site alongside Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, Senator Andrew Lanza, Borough President Vito Fossella, and Councilman David Carr.

“After writing a letter last week, I have received confirmation from the Governor’s Office that the Staten Island Armory located at 321 Manor Road is not currently being used to house migrants, nor will it be considered to do so in the future.

While this is a welcomed update, I will stay vigilant as Staten Islanders have been told the same about other sites that eventually did materialize, such as St. John’s Villa Academy. Staten Islanders have been very clear that they will not tolerate our public institutions and neighborhoods being stripped away from us to accommodate the effects of this self-inflicted crisis.

 I will continue to be a voice for common sense, sanity, and safety as this situation continues to evolve.”

Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo represents the 63rd Assembly District, which encompasses parts of the North Shore, including Emerson Hill, Sunnyside, Bloomfield, Travis and Chelsea.
