A native Astorian who attended P.S. 84 and P.S. 122, both in Astoria, before graduating from William Cullen Bryant High School, Costa has served as the City Council Member representing District 22 for the past eight years. Costa has always been committed to helping the kids of District 22 and has supported our community over the years through initiatives such as: securing $30 million to reimagine Astoria Park, working with the School Construction Authority and Department of Citywide Administrative Services to put solar panels on all solar-ready school in District 22, and allocating capital funding to put a hydroponic science lab in every school in our district.

As VBGCQ enters the next phase of our 200-million-dollar expansion project, we are excited for Costa’s leadership and skills to help build a new Boys & Girls Club in Astoria that will serve all of the families in our community for decades to come. Everyone at Variety knows that Costa’s passion for our mission and his years of leadership in our community make him the perfect fit to lead our amazing organization into the future!
