## HAMMELS - ROCKAWAY

The Hammels-Rockaway Urban Renewal Project places emphasis on the development of housing facilities for moderate income families. The Dayton Beach Park and Dayton Towers Apartments provide 2,248 co-operative apartments, parking facilities, and a swimming pool for residents.

Improved community facilities include the addition of a school and theater to the St. Rose of Lima Church, the expansion of the existing Temple of Israel, and the construction of St. John the Baptist Church. A shopping center on the Dayton Beach Park site has been completed.

The fact that the project has an oceanfront location and borders on the boardwalk, with easy access to the beach, is a definite asset to the new community, and adds to the project's desirability.
