Mayor de Blasio, Local Pols to Hold Bed Stuy Town Hall in March

Residents of Bed Stuy will get the chance to talk with Mayor Bill de Blasio and other elected officials representing their district about whatever issues they feel are most pressing in their community at an upcoming town hall meeting.

The Bed Stuy town hall will be open to any topic. It’s the 17th in a series of town halls held all over the city since de Blasio became mayor, a spokesperson from his office told Brownstoner.

At least two others have been held in Brooklyn, in Bay Ridge and East Flatbush, according to NY1.

The event will feature a number of officials representing District 36, including U.S. Representative Hakeem Jeffries, State Senator Velmanette Montgomery, State Assembly Member Tremaine Wright — formerly Community Board 3’s longtime chair — and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.

New York City Councilman Robert Cornegy Jr. will moderate.
