Community Board 1 agendas for May

Community Board 1 has returned to in-person meetings; however the public is encouraged to use Webex live due to capacity constraints. Meetings are also 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.

PS: I am *still* woefully behind on CB1 reports. Promise to catch up this week.  Comment if there’s something you are dying to know about and I will follow up.
