Sorry! I must have been distracted by Halloween — I never saw the note come through from CB1. You can catch up on YouTube, as will I.
Community Board 1 has returned to in-person meetings; however the public is encouraged to use Webex live due to acute capacity constraints. 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.
