Community Board 1 agendas for May

Starting June 8 Community Board members, applicants and public members may be required to attend in person — they are still waiting on guidance from the governor and borough president. Stay tuned here or from CB1 directly on that. Either way, if they do return to an in-person meeting format, the public will still be encouraged to use WebEx due to acute capacity constraints.

So until further notice, meetings are still here online. As always, contact the board at man01@cb.nyc.gov. My comments in caps.
