Niagara Falls, NY (WBEN) Mayor Paul Dyster says Niagara's Choice Federal Credit Union has donated $25,000 to present the city's 2019 Independence Fireworks Display at Hyde Park as previously scheduled.
Mayor Dyster said, "Thanks to our partners at Niagara's Choice Federal Credit Union and their dedication to the residents of the City of Niagara Falls, a time-honored tradition will remain uninterrupted. We are grateful to community-minded partners like Niagara's Choice who continue to step in and shoulder the responsibility when municipal government does not. We are looking forward to a fun-filled evening as we celebrate our nation's independence!"
Dan Keleher, Niagara's Choice Federal Credit Union CEO said, "Credit Unions are all about community. Niagara's Choice started in Niagara Falls and this is a great way for us to give back to the community that has treated us so well. We are honored to be able to do this for the residents and visitors to Niagara County."
The event would have been canceled after the City Council did not approve a last minute agenda item to pull the money from tourism development tax revenue to fund the fireworks display.
