Dear Neighbor:

As residents of the Community Board 5 area we are committed to continue to strenghten our neighborhoods. We believe that a stronger community is more likely to be a safe, happy place for its residents, businesses, and families to live and grow in. Community Board 5 and surrounding areas offer valuable resources which include great shopping districts such as Fordham Road, Burnside Avenue, University Avenue, Tremont Avenue, Jerome Avenue, and Grand Concourse. Also, there is a great variety of organizations in our area that offer invaluable services to our community. 

Community Board 5 is always looking for ways to serve you better and will continue to work to improve the quality of life in the district. However, as a stakeholder in your Community your civic pride and participation is important. Therefore, please attend our General Board meetings and inform us about your needs and concerns. Community Board 5 meetings are held every fourth Wednesday of each month* beginning in September through June. You can also participate in the board's committees. Feel free to call our office at 718-364-2030, or email us at bx05@cb.nyc.gov for a schedule of our General Board and Committees meetings, dates, times and locations.

Sincerely,

Community Board 5 & staff
