Queens Community Board 2, which encompasses much of the north side of the creek, has their monthly board meeting on the first Thursday of every month. Would it be possible to avoid scheduling these meetings for the first Thursday to enable CB 2 board members to attend?
Thank you for your comment. The CAG does try to alternate meeting days (usually Wednesdays and Thursdays) and locations (Brooklyn and Queens) in order to accommodate the many community meetings going on around Newtown Creek. At times – as is the case for the Feb. 6 meeting – the ultimate decision for a meeting date is driven by the availability of the guest speakers. The CAG will keep the Queens CB 2 meeting schedule in mind for the future, and CB 2 board members are welcome to play a role in CAG meeting planning.
