QUEENS, NY (TIP): Queens County District Attorney Melinda Katz, on February 20, joined Councilmember Jim Gennaro and members of the Jamaica Bangladeshi-American community for a street co-naming ceremony at the corner of Hillside Avenue and Homelawn Street. This intersection is now co-named “Little Bangladesh Avenue” in honor of the residents and business owners of this vibrant community. The event coincided with International Mother Language Day and also marked the hard-fought efforts of community members on behalf of Bengali speakers in the neighborhood.
