Register of Community Board Budget Requests

This dataset reports each of the projects and programs requested by the City’s 59 community boards. The Register is the charter mandated product of a dynamic and cyclical budget process for the 59 community boards. The community boards consult with agencies on the capital and expense needs of the district. After consulting, each community board develops and votes separate priorities for up to 40 capital and 25 expense budget requests which the agencies review and respond to in the Register of Community Board Requests for the Preliminary Budget in January. The Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reviews these same budget requests and updates the responses for the Executive and Adopted Budgets. This dataset is updated three times per year after publication of the Preliminary, Executive and Adopted Budget, usually in January, April and June respectively.

Resurfacing of the entire Promenade at Hallets Cove in front of Astoria Houses due to deterioration. The promenade which is highly utilized by residents, visitors and NYC Ferry users is in dire need of resurfacing due to sink holes cracks sinking basins and saltwater deterioration. The entire length of the promenade has not been addressed in decades and with the growth of our community this has become a safety issue. Residents fish, picnic,stroll and socialize at the waterfront. Astoria Landing is found at Astoria Point, alongside the New York City Housing campus.
