The seasonal ferry service from Brooklyn to Governors Island will continue through October thanks to a $250,000 state funding boost, ensuring access to the island's resources and programming.
State Senator Andrew Gounardes commented on the funding, stating that it fills a critical gap, allowing Brooklynites access to the green spaces and educational opportunities that Governors Island offers.
With the ferry service seeing an average ridership of 10,000-15,000 riders per month, it's clear the connection between Brooklyn and Governors Island is essential for local community engagement.
Gounardes expressed pride in securing the funding, emphasizing that without accessible ferry services, Brooklynites would struggle to enjoy the various educational and cultural offerings on the island.
