About

Brooklyn CB6 represents the neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Gowanus, Red Hook and Columbia St Waterfront. From the Buttermilk Channel to Prospect Park, 120,660 people (2022 PUMA figure) choose to make our district their home.

The Community Board is the official municipal body whose primary mission is to advise elected officials and government agencies on matters affecting the welfare of the district and to drive policy concerns related to land use, housing, transportation, liquor licenses, and more. Brooklyn Community Board 6 meets on the second Wednesday of each month, except during July and August. All meetings are open to the public. We are the community’s local interface to the many offices and agencies of City government.

In an attempt to maximize accessibility, meetings are held at different locations within the district, and hybrid Zoom options are available whenever possible. We are grateful to the Van Alen Institute for hosting our monthly full board meetings in their Gowanus offices (303 Bond St). These meetings are held in-person and via Zoom, and the facility is ADA accessible.

The following is the official list of Board Members of Brooklyn Community Board 6, as supplied by the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President.

We encourage the public to attend the Community Board’s various public hearings, committee meetings, informational meetings, and special events to participate actively in the items before the Community Board at the grassroots level. All meetings of the Community Board are open to the public, and are posted on our online Calendar.
