Meng's Legislation to Study Flushing Remonstrance

Often-unnoticed historic sites in Flushing and Fort Greene would be considered for incorporation as National Park Service sites under two bills backed by Park Service officials at a hearing on Thursday in Washington.

Reps. Grace Meng and Hakeem Jeffries introduced the legislation, which would order studies of the John Bowne House and Old Quaker Meeting House in Flushing, and the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument in Fort Greene Park.
