Dear Cobble Hill Community,

Greetings!

This is an election year and members living in Cobble Hill with current standing are eligible to vote for new officers at the annual meeting. Renew or join Here on our website.We encourage you to attend our Annual Spring Meeting, May 17th at 7pm, where we will report on our recent accomplishments. We will also have State Senator Brian Kavanagh and Councilmember Brad Lander join us to discuss the BQE, MTA and the Construction Period Task Force. The BQE Design-Build legislation –much to our delight—was recently passed in Albany. The CHA also worked to create a task force to oversee construction on the LICH campus to monitor and manage its impact on our beloved neighborhood. (Special thanks to our president, Amy Breedlove, and congratulations to her for being named by Senator Kavanagh as a New York State Senate Woman of Distinction for her tireless efforts on behalf of the CHA.) The CHA will continue to implement and support popular neighborhood events including the annual Halloween Parade, holiday caroling, and summer concerts in Cobble Hill Park, along with maintaining the beautiful park itself.
For nearly 60 years the mission of the CHA has been to preserve and protect the historic integrity of Cobble Hill as advocate and liaison on behalf of the neighborhood to elected officials and city and state agencies as well as to enable and support various activities, which benefit the community. The association runs on volunteer efforts, membership dues and donations. Our communications go to you as a member of our mailing list. Thank you for being engaged and please renew or join today–your financial support and participation are essential to ensure that we have the funds to embark on Cobble Hill’s ongoing and future challenges.
