Gale Brewer, Manhattan Borough President, issued an invitation to residents to apply to their community boards.
The Manhattan Borough President’s Office is currently accepting applications or Manhattan Community Board membership with a January 30 deadline.
In a message from Gale Brewer, Manhattan Borough President, she said “Community Boards represent their neighborhoods on crucial issues ranging from real estate development to liquor licenses.” Serving as a volunteer Community Board member is an opportunity to be a part of civil society that helps frame and direct the policies of your neighborhood. That can include use of public space, and the building of bicycle lanes and other traffic calming measures.
