Community Board 5

Community Board 5 (CB5) is a local government advisory body in Manhattan, representing neighborhoods like Chelsea, Clinton, and Hell’s Kitchen. It consists of residents, business owners, and stakeholders who gather to discuss and influence issues such as zoning, public safety, development projects, and community resources. While CB5 doesn’t make final decisions, it provides recommendations to city agencies, helping ensure that community needs and concerns are considered in city planning and policies. Its goal is to promote a vibrant, safe, and well-served neighborhood environment.
