The Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods [CBN or Group] is a coalition of recognized diverse community groups active in Community Boards 2, 3, 6, and 8, that are concerned with the cumulative effects of development proposed in their area of Brooklyn. CBN’s mission requires, among other things, that it gather information from Brooklyn residents and businesspeople to help quantify the demographic and economic conditions in CBN’s catchment area, and document potential impacts of development as reported by community members. CBN’s mission also includes outreach to residents in the catchment area to inform them of proposed development plans and the status of required review processes under New York City or New York State law. This Privacy Policy governs CBN’s use of personal information that you provide or is provided to us by others in support of the organization’s mission.
