Today, November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is a day the LGBTQ community remembers the people who were violently taken from us in acts of hatred. These are only a few of the hundreds of people murdered this year alone, and many more will remain unnamed and unknown.

Marine Power & Light – Richmond Terrace, SI – Future Waterfront Park Planned

In early August 1991, the body of twenty-eight year old restaurateur Mark Raffone was found by divers near the Marine Power & Light Corporation boatyard. Raffone was abducted two weeks earlier by a 36 year old homeless woman and two teenagers, according to Jacques Steinberg of the New York Times. ¹
I could find no other information about this organization except for the fact that it has been closed for some time now. Plans for using this site for a future park was found on the North Shore Waterfront Conservancy of Staten Island website. Here is an excerpt from their site:
Future Park in West Brighton
The North Shore Waterfront Conservancy is working with the Trust for Public Land, local elected officials and residents on the creation of a 9 acre waterfront park. The site is the former Marine Power and Light Marina and is located west of Snug Harbor at Richmond Terrace and Tompkins Court. The park will allow for community access west of Snug Harbor and greatly enhance the quality of life for the residents of West Brighton and the entire North Shore. With funding rom Citizen’s Committee of New York, the NSWC will conduct community planning workshops this fall. – NSWC-SI

From 1882 to 1952, Staten Island produced its own electricity. In September 1952, with the turn of a switch, submarine power cables laid across the Narrows to Brooklyn were activated, and power lines connecting Staten Island with Public Service Electric and Gas of New Jersey were shut down. Staten Island Edison’s Livingston electric plant (on what is now a Con Ed parking lot, across Richmond Terrace from its Davis Avenue executive offices), would be retired in 1961 after 64 years of service. Arthur Kill Generator No. 1, built in 1947 with only 25,000 kilowatts capacity, would be retired in 1963. It would be replaced by Arthur Kill No. 2, producing 397,000 kilowatts and built on the site of an old linoleum manufacturing plant, which opened in 1959. Arthur Kill No. 2 is still in operation. – Staten Island Advance, March 26, 2011
