Queens Community Board 2
Queens Community Board 2 is a local government body in the New York City borough of Queens. It encompasses the neighborhoods of Long Island City, Woodside, Sunnyside, and parts of Astoria, Maspeth, and Elmhurst. The board advises on land use and zoning, participates in the city budget process, and addresses service delivery in their district.
History[edit | edit source]
The community board system in New York City was established in 1975 as a way to give local residents a greater say in their own governance. Queens Community Board 2 was one of the original boards created at that time.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The board is made up of 50 volunteer members appointed by the Queens Borough President, half from nominations by City Council members representing the community district. The board has a small paid staff and is headed by a district manager who oversees the delivery of city services in the district.
Responsibilities[edit | edit source]
The board plays an advisory role in dealing with issues relating to land use and zoning, city budget, municipal service delivery, and many other matters relating to the welfare of the community. It reviews and makes recommendations on the City's budget proposal, land use applications, and other significant matters impacting the community.
Meetings[edit | edit source]
The board meets once a month, and these meetings are open to the public. In addition to the full board meetings, the board's committees meet regularly to discuss and plan for issues specific to their mandate.
Neighborhoods[edit | edit source]
Queens Community Board 2 serves a diverse group of neighborhoods, each with its own unique character and needs. These include the rapidly developing Long Island City, the residential areas of Woodside and Sunnyside, and parts of Astoria, Maspeth, and Elmhurst.
