our culinary efforts,” adds Can-Cen “My team is looking forward to exploring innovative flavors and ideas not only within our kitchen but throughout our overall dining experience Tre’s expertise and experience will be invaluable in ensuring we keep pace with the cutting edge of gastronomy and hospitality.” “It became apparent that a mentorship/partnership program could have strong potential in a retirement community setting and Edgemere would be a fertile garden to pilot and grow such a program As we were developing the scope of what such an initiative would look like we were increasingly cognizant of avoiding a typical ‘guest chef’ or ‘celebrity chef’ program that comes in quickly and fades just as fast What we really wanted was to partner with a local highly regarded and established chef who had the culinary prowess to command respect enact change and create enduring growth within our culinary team we found an incredible partner who shared our vision in Chef Tre Wilcox.”

partnership is fully established there “We’d love to have Chef Wilcox lend his talents to other communities that are owned and operated by Lifespace Communities,” he says suggesting that The Stayton at Museum Way in nearby Fort Worth “would be a great location to launch a similar program next.” The advantages of the relationship for the dining program at Edgemere include not only enhancing the skill sets of the culinary team and “taking the dining experience to the next level,” but also “there’s also some clout that comes with having someone of his caliber working with us,” adds Edgemere Executive Director Bridgette Walshe experience and skills into a new and welcoming market Chef Wilcox still yearns to grow as culinary professional,” he says “A senior living community presents a challenge that he simply hadn’t had the opportunity to take on until now It’s a whole different beast when compared to the restaurant world There are different taste preferences and health considerations that you must consider when cooking for seniors And while the residents at Edgemere are well traveled there’s the opportunity to expand their horizons beyond what they are accustomed to.” The program starts with establishing a mentoring relationship with Can-Cen and the existing culinary team at Edgemere there will be meetings with the dining department so Chef Wilcox can get a better understanding of our kitchen and the culture at Edgemere,” Walshe explains this relationship will expand to include recipe development to participate in town halls and food committee meetings at least once a month “He’ll also be a frequent presence in the dining room during mealtimes to interact with residents,” Walshe says “The events will be an opportunity for residents to not only ask questions but to give feedback and suggestions on menus and dining preferences They’re the ones who get to enjoy our food so it makes sense for them to have a voice as well The partnership is truly a collaborative undertaking and having residents involved will only ensure its success.” The cooking demos are on hold as the Edgemere dining room is operating at limited capacity under current safety precautions there are opportunities for Chef Wilcox to safely meet with small groups of residents as well as hold virtual meetings and demonstrations for larger groups,” Walshe adds In terms of recipe and menu development for the Edgemere culinary program “the focus will largely be on adding new dishes to the current menu,” Thorpe says some menu items may get replaced and others may get updated as well The new dishes will be a collaborative effort between Chef Wilcox and our team and the changes will be enjoyed by residents in all levels of living Walshe says there is a sense of anticipation among residents about the prospect of having such a high-profile chef involved with the community “The dining experience at Edgemere has always been well received by residents but this partnership will elevate it,” she observes “Given Chef Wilcox’s standing throughout Dallas many residents are excited to see what impact he will have on the kitchen and culinary offerings.” is one of the highlights of a community’s lifestyle and the addition of Wilcox promises to add to Edgemere’s attraction,” Walshe notes the key to a person’s heart is through their stomach,” she says “You can offer the best amenities and services possible but the dining program is one of the pillars of any community While there are some limitations to dining communally because of COVID-19 residents still expect

affordable homeownership opportunities on City-owned lots in Edgemere and ensure the sustainable development of open space The Edgemere CLT is expected to contribute to Mayor’s goal to finance 3,000 affordable homes through CLTs or other shared-equity development models we’re fulfilling a key promise of the Resilient Edgemere Neighborhood Plan to support a new CLT that can drive affordable homeownership along with supporting the resilient and sustainable use of open space,” said HPD Commissioner Louise Carroll “This Administration is deeply committed to expanding the role of CLTs as a tool to bring long-term stability and affordability to neighborhoods throughout New York City We are grateful to the Edgemere community and their elected officials for their continued partnership in delivering on the goals of the plan to ensure a more resilient future for the neighborhood.” “As a staunch longtime advocate for the creation and expansion of Community Land Trusts this announcement is a game-changer for Edgemere and the families who call it home,” said Queens Borough President Donovan Richards “By bringing the surrounding neighborhood to the forefront of the Resilient Edgemere Neighborhood Plan we are ensuring this project is about more than just community development I look forward to working with HPD and the families of Edgemere every step of the way.” The call for proposals builds on the Resilient Edgemere Community Plan to invest in a better quality of life and address neighborhood challenges around coastal flooding and the environmental impacts of climate change The RFEI enacts the plan’s key recommendation for a homegrown CLT to turn local City-owned vacant lots into much-need affordable housing or opportunities for New Yorkers to enjoy public open space.v Eight acres of identified public land could be transferred to a CLT initiated by the RFEI Offering opportunities for urban agriculture nearly half of the vacant lots are reserved for open space or community and commercial land uses other than residential housing submissions should demonstrate community support and a vision for climate resiliency that helps ease climate-change impacts like sea-level rise and rising heat on everyday life “This project successfully moves forward our commitment to turn City-owned vacant lots into much-need affordable housing while at the same time addressing the effects of climate change on our waterfront neighborhoods and providing more opportunities for New Yorkers to enjoy public open space,” said Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz “It is gratifying to see a partnership that accomplishes the equally important goals of helping our people and preserving our precious environmental resources.” “Edgemere needs development that is responsible and resilient,” said Councilwoman Selvena Brooks-Powers “The Edgemere CLT will bring new public space and affordable housing that respect both the preferences of the community and the ecology of the Rockaways I can’t wait to see our community’s vision come to life through these essential developments.” “Today’s Request for Expressions of Interest for the Edgemere Community Land Trust is a major step forward for the entire Edgemere community,” said State Senator Joseph P “Having a local community land trust partner is vital to improving Edgemere and bringing state-of-the-art affordable housing and much-needed climate resiliency projects to the area I will continue to work with my colleagues in government and local residents to ensure that the Edgemere community is involved in the selection process and gets the infrastructure it deserves.” We must be vigilant and proactive to address the urgent need to preserve equitable and affordable homeownership opportunities and resolve in protecting communities like Edgemere from climate change’s disproportionate environmental impacts in Black and brown neighborhoods,” said Assembly Member Khaleel Anderson “Today’s Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) announcement from the New York City Department of Housing Preservation & Development is a positive step towards expanding Community Land Trust (CLT) opportunities in our communities and I am dedicated to a continued partnership in this effort as we demand sustainability and community input in critical local development throughout Assembly District

Edgemere Commons, an 11-building affordable housing complex currently under construction in Edgemere The new supermarket will comprise more than 27,000 square feet and is expected to open in spring

addition of ShopFair to Edgemere Commons will help eradicate a food desert and make healthy nutritious food more accessible for the community.” “The signing of a lease for a supermarket in Edgemere Commons is a major milestone in the effort to create a first-class mixed-use development in the Rockaways,” said Queens borough president Donovan Richards Jr “The days of the Rockaways being a food desert are coming to an end as this supermarket represents a significant investment in the fight against food insecurity.” State financing for the first phase includes $14.7 million in permanent
