 WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to honor and

long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2025, as Lower East

 WHEREAS, Each year in May, Lower East Side cultural and civic
groups, small businesses, and residents create a variety of public
events, exhibits, tours, and learning opportunities to highlight the
unique cultures in different parts of its neighborhood; and

 WHEREAS, Lower East Side History Month emphasizes the diversity,
small businesses and artistic achievements of the Lower East Side, a
neighborhood in the southeastern part of the New York City borough of
Manhattan which includes the East Village, Chinatown, Two Bridges and
Loisaida; and

 WHEREAS, Conceived and launched by Fourth Arts Block and Downtown
Art, in partnership with various cultural and community groups, Lower
East Side History Month aims to connect its present to its past,
exploring how its history can inform and inspire its future; and

 WHEREAS, The Lower East Side has always welcomed immigrants and
helped set them on a path to becoming independent and strong New
Yorkers; and

 WHEREAS, Of historic origin, and remaining fruitful over the ebb and
flow of decades of growth and change, the Lower East Side continues to
provide the quintessential quality of life for its residents; and

 WHEREAS, The residents of the Lower East Side have a bright outlook
for the future of their community, which remains a beautiful place in
which to live and raise a family; and

 WHEREAS, Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, Lower East Side residents
exhibited tremendous compassion and strength of character in their
community-based efforts to help one another; and

 WHEREAS, In recognition of the Lower East Side's rich history and
enduring contribution to the State of New York, this Legislative Body is
proud to pay tribute to this spirited neighborhood; now, therefore, be
it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
