The Covid numbers of our community and city are as low as they’ve been since we've been tracking such numbers. We’re not done yet, and if you’re not vaccinated, please click here and find out how to change that.

The Covid numbers of our community and city are as low as they’ve been since we've been tracking such numbers. We’re not done yet, and if you’re not vaccinated, please click here and find out how to change that. Please remember that the vaccination is truly free and not one of those awful instances of surprise medical billing. 

I’ll digress and shift to CB6 specifics. While it may be unofficially summer, we’re not in any way on summer hiatus this month. We’ve got multiple Gowanus Rezoning meetings coming up.

The first of those is this coming Thursday, June 3rd. . The hearing will start at 3:30 PM, and people will be able to participate over zoom and in person at Washington Park. For details on how to submit testimony and register, click here. This hearing also has a rain date for the following Thursday, June 10th. Before listing the other meetings, I’d like to thank everyone who has continued to spread the word about Thursday’s meeting.

Second, to limit the amount of possible rescheduling and force us to hold a late Friday meeting, the Landmarks/ Land Use Committee will meet on Thursday, June 17th. At the June 17th meeting, it is expected that a motion will be made to approve or disapprove, with various conditions, the Gowanus Rezoning.

The third meeting will be our June 23rd Full Board meeting. During the June 23rd meeting, the anticipated motion from the Land Use Committee will be considered by members, followed by their vote.

Fourth, the day after the June Full Board meeting, on Thursday, June 24th, we'll hold another Landmarks/Land Use meeting with, at this point, at least two ULURP items. One for the Gowanus CSO tank/ salt lot demapping and another an M2-1 to C4-4A along Third Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets.

On that note, I’ll recommend reading on, staying safe, and enjoy the rest of the day and month!
