Brooklyn Community Board meetings September 15

Summer recess is over and community boards are back in session this month, with many of them welcoming new members for the year. At least one board, Community Board 2, plans to discuss Mayor de Blasio-led proposals for changes to zoning and affordable housing.

Brooklynites should be hearing a lot more about these proposals soon, as several are scheduled to kick off their formal public review process this month.

Here are a few boards meeting the week of September 7.
