There will be a hybrid (in-person & virtual) Newtown Creek Community Advisory Group (CAG) meeting Wednesday, March 26, 2025, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. The meeting agenda is attached here and outlined below.
The meeting will take place at LaGuardia Community College, 31-10 Thomson Ave, Long Island City, NY – Room: E-242. Please note this is a different room from last month’s meeting.
You can enter the building from either:
- LaGuardia East (E) Building entrance on Thomson Ave
- LaGuardia Performing Arts Center (LPAC) entrance on Van Dam Avenue
There will also be the option to join virtually via Zoom. If you plan to join virtually, we ask you to register in advance for this meeting. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
ACRONYMS: Newtown Creek Alliance has also prepared a list of acronyms that are often used in discussions at CAG meetings. Feel free to use it to follow along. LINK HERE.
We will be using the videoconferencing platform Zoom. If this is your first time using Zoom, you will be prompted to download a small application file. Learn how to join any Zoom meeting here.
If you are joining virtually, please try to join a few minutes before 6:30 PM. This will help us orient you into the meeting and provide time for you test your camera and sound.
Again, we will go over all Zoom features and how you will participate at the beginning of the meeting.
The meeting will also be recorded for those who cannot attend. If you have any questions please reach out to Meira Downie, [email protected].
