BY: Senator GAUGHRAN

        COMMENDING   the   Glen   Cove  Downtown  Business
        Improvement   District   upon   the   occasion    of
        celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Downtown Sounds

  WHEREAS,  It is the custom of this Legislative Body to honor and pay
tribute  to  those  organizations  whose  commitment  to  promoting  the
richness   and  diversity  of  the  arts  and  entertainment  world  has
contributed to the strength, vitality, and cultural enrichment of  their
communities and the great State of New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commend  Glen  Cove  Downtown  Business  Improvement  District  upon the
occasion of celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Downtown Sounds; and

  WHEREAS,  Located  near  the  waterfront,  the  Glen  Cove  Downtown
Business  Improvement  District  (BID)  supports downtown businesses and
property owners, and has designed a variety of  projects,  services  and
events that benefit all within the designated district; and

  WHEREAS,  One  such  project is Downtown Sounds, an annual nine show
concert series which is presented to the citizens and  visitors  at  the
Village Square in downtown Glen Cove; and

  WHEREAS,  Began  as  Jazz  in  the  Square  in 1997, local musicians
entertained modest  crowds  gathered  in  the  plaza  in  the  heart  of
downtown;  now  known  as  Downtown  Sounds,  it  attracts  a variety of
headline acts and main streets are closed to traffic to accommodate much
larger and more diverse crowds; and

  WHEREAS, For nine weeks, Downtown Glen Cove comes alive  with  great
music,  outdoor  dining,  and good times which attracts crowds from both
near and far; and

  WHEREAS, The success of the Glen Cove BID is in  direct  correlation
to  the  efforts  of  its  members, whose involvement is, and always has
been,  characterized  by  an   impressive   commitment,   an   unbridled
enthusiasm,   and  an  uncompromising  standard  of  excellence  in  all
endeavors on behalf of the institution and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS, It is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  those
organizations  which  enhance  the  well-being  and  vitality  of  their
community and have shown a long and sustained commitment  to  excellence
certainly  have  earned the recognition and applause of all the citizens
of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commend  the  Glen  Cove Downtown Business Improvement District upon the
occasion of celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Downtown Sounds; and  be
it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District.
