A member of Community Board 5 and an athletic representative for the CYO at St. Stanislaus School, LoCascio spearheaded the protest against the shelter that has since spread borough-wide, calling into question the city’s very use of hotels to house the homeless.
Through it all, LoCascio was a voice of reason. Behind the scenes, he worked the press and elected officials to change the narrative from a community in the throes of a NIMBY fight to a tangible discussion about the city’s homeless policies.
Other Movers & Shakers to be recognized are:
Tom Grech (ED, Queens Chamber of Commerce), Chris Mullin (St. John’s), Michael Meyer (President F&T Group), Tyler Morse (CEO, MCR Development), Michael Mattone (VP & CFO Mattone Group), Gregory Brown (President, Queens County Bar Association), Rachel Thieme (Sunnyside Shines), John Choe (Flushing CC), Anthony Lopez (Zone 126), Hope Knight (Jamaica Development Corp.), Dennis Walcott (CEO Queens Library), Mike Luba (Forest Hills Stadium Concert Promoter), & Ya-Ting Liu (BQX)!
