 ----------------------------------------------------------
 
Community Board 7 Remote Public Meeting (Online and by Phone)
Wednesday, March 16th, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
 
Community Board 7 (CB 7) is the liaison between city agencies and the public--the residents, business owners, and employees of Windsor Terrace, Greenwood Heights, South Slope, and Sunset Park. 
 
From the website: "The Board's boundaries are the waterfront on the west, the Long Island Railroad cut to the South (approximately 65th Street); Our boundary extends north on 8th Avenue from 62nd Street to Greenwood Cemetery. We include all of the cemetery and the land between it and Prospect Park to Caton Avenue on the east. Our northern border is on 15th Street from Park Circle to Hamilton Avenue and continues on Hamilton Avenue to the Gowanus Canal." 
 
The next meeting will be held remotely (online and by phone) on Wednesday, March 16th, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Meetings are always open to the public, including residents, business owners, and employees.
 
At every meeting, the public has two opportunities to address the board (items 7 and 15 on the agenda below). If you have any concerns, questions, needs, problems, suggestions, or solutions that you'd like to share with CB 7 board members, raise them then. 
 
CB 7 meets on the third Wednesday of the month, from September through June, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Every neighborhood in New York City is represented by an all-volunteer community board that serves as the liaison between neighborhood residents and city agencies. Board members are appointed by the borough president.
 
People are welcome to serve on a committee without being a board member. Contact Community Board 7's office to learn more.
