Community Board Six looks to solve problems before they start
Leaders say outside-the-box thinking helps
The leaders of Brooklyn’s Community Board Six said it’s important to not just to confront issues in their district head-on but to be on the lookout for potential problems before they arise.
Board Six covers several neighborhoods, all of them distinct and varied: Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, the Columbia Street Waterfront District, Gowanus and Red Hook.
In its role as a community watchdog, Board Six always has its radar out to pick up signs of developing issues. “There are some issues that we can see happening,” Chairman Sayar Lonial said.
