Our group photo at Zenon
Norwood Neighborhood Association had a terrific January meeting at Zenon Taverna in Astoria. Turn out was great and the Cypriot food excellent! Before getting into the eats, we talked about last year's accomplishments and discussed ideas and goals for the upcoming year.
With warm weather right around the corner, the group decided a mid-April spring cleanup would be wonderful for our neighborhood spirit. Target date is for the weekend when schools are closed as we hope to have kids of all ages out there helping to make our blocks look great!
A future project on the NNA "to do" list is removing graffiti from the back of the 30th Avenue stores.
Exciting news bulletin: more new trees are slated for 35th, 36th and 37th Streets. If you would like a tree request form, please e-mail norwood.astoria@gmail.com and we'll send you one right away. We can also arrange to pick it up or have a drop-off place so NNA can present CB1 with a batch of tree request forms at once.
More very good news for Norwood residents hot off the press: City Planning's Zoning Proposal has been certified by the City Planning Commission which means that the review process has officially begun. Please take a look at the rezoning web page for maps and important dates.
Community Board No. 1 will hold a public hearing Tuesday February 16th @ 6:00pm
Place: Astoria World Manor (2522 Astoria Boulevard Astoria, NY 11102)
Please mark this important date on your calendar.
We need strong turn for this meeting to show our support of the rezoning.
We fought hard for this. Let's follow through.
