Community boards scramble to confront coronavirus concerns
SOUTHERN BROOKLYN — Coronavirus concerns are complicating life at Brooklyn’s community boards.
The neighborhood boards, which serve as the voice for local residents when it comes to dealing with city government, are scrambling to get the latest information on the pandemic so that they can relay the information to the public.
But the worldwide crisis is also forcing the local boards to cancel public meetings or find ways to hold the sessions without endangering anyone.
