Behind the scenes of liquor licenses, bike lanes, housing development, traffic, and trash are common conversations had by Brooklyn’s 18 community boards and the 900 community members who make them up. Mapped by neighborhoods, each community board is comprised of 50 volunteer members interested in amplifying their community’s perspective on hyperlocal issues — and now through Feb. 14, 2023, Brooklynites 16 years and older have the chance to apply to become one of those members.
Op-ed: Community board application season has begun!
