Community Board to hold monthly meeting at Diversity Plaza Thursday

Plazameeting

June 17, 2015 By Michael Florio

Community Board 3 will be hosting its June meeting at Diversity Plaza Thursday.

This will be the third straight year that the board has held its meeting at the well-known venue. It will begin at 7 pm.

The outdoor meeting provides the public with a window into the workings of the board as well as the individuals who are making the decisions on behalf or residents, according to elected officials.

The event is held at plaza since it is a visible area that draws a lot of residents, particularly those going to and from the train.

Many of these people do not even know what a community board is, or what they do, and will have the opportunity to conveniently watch the process in action.

Both of the previous meetings drew a large audience.

Councilman Daniel Dromm and 115th Precinct Captain Brian Hennessy are both scheduled to speak tomorrow, as well as representatives from the Louis Armstrong House Museum and Neighborhood Housing Service.

As physicians of color at Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center (JPAFHC), we regularly witness how representation in healthcare can save lives. Our patients – who, like us, are predominantly people of color – walk through our doors not only with medical concerns but also often carrying the weight of generations of inequities that have shaped their health outcomes.

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst and Transit District 20 are looking for a gunman who allegedly robbed a teenager at the Grand Avenue-Newtown subway station.

The 18-year-old victim was waiting for an R train at around 2 p.m. on Friday, April 10, when a stranger approached him, lifted his sweatshirt to show he had a firearm tucked into his waistband, and demanded the victim’s necklace.
