MASSENA -- The new Eugene L. Nicandri Nature Center at Robert Moses State Park in Massena will be celebrated Tuesday at 12:30 p.m.
The new facility will provide science and nature education in indoor and outdoor settings for the public, including schools and community groups.
In addition to educational exhibits, the Center houses an aquarium, an indoor waterfall, a fireplace, and ski and snowshoe rental depot.
The Center is named for Nicandri, the Vice Chairman of the NYPA Board of Trustees and long-time Massena community leader. Judge Nicandri championed the effort to rebuild the community facility after the original building burned down 7 years ago.
Representatives from the New York Power Authority, including its Board of Trustees; the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; and the Friends of the Robert Moses State Park Nature Center organization will join with local officials in Massena Tuesday for a ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony, followed by tours of the facility and lunch.
