Community Board 1 meetings for December

After Dec. 21, Community Board members, applicants and public members *may* be required to attend in person. If they do return to an in-person meeting format, the public is still encouraged to use WebEx and follow the meetings virtually here.

So until further notice, meetings are still here online and are recorded and posted to the board’s YouTube page. You can also find documents and draft resolutions here. As always, contact the board at man01@cb.nyc.gov. My comments in caps.
