The Manhattan Community Board 2 is a
Due to overwhelming disgust with the impending overdevelopment of Greenwich Village during the late 1950s and early 1960s, residents organized to fight further destruction of historic buildings and townhouses within the village. These residents made up the first members of what was then called a "Community Planning Board." CB2 was one of the first of these "Community Planning Boards."
Jeannine Kiely[4] currently serves as the board's Chair and Bob Gormley as its District Manager.[5] He administers the Board office and is the principal liaison with various City agencies involved in CB2 affairs. He further chairs the monthly District Service Cabinet meeting at which representatives from various City agencies and elected officials address issues of concern within the community. The District Manager additionally oversees the Board's operating budget expenditures and prepares drafts as well as the annual report submitted to the Mayor and the City Council. Mr. Gormley reports on all of these matters at the monthly CB#2 Executive Committee meeting.
