You are invited to the NYC Mayoral Candidates Forum 2013 Prospect/West Brooklyn Neighborhoods on behalf of co-sponsors: Park Slope Civic Council, Brooklyn Heights Association, Boerum Hill Association, Crown Heights North Association, Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council, Carroll Gardens Neighborhood Association and the Fort Greene Association.
The challenging array of candidates and issues generating great interest in this years’ NYC Mayoral election has been the impetus for the Park Slope Civic Council and its sponsoring partners to present this forum as a venue for the public to hear first-hand and directly the viewpoints of the candidates. It’s an opportunity for residents to submit questions with a Brooklyn focus, on a range of topics that will include infrastructure, schools, emergency preparedness, city services, transportation & transit, parks, development, businesses and local jobs.
As non-partisan organizations we invite community residents to participate in generating questions. We wish to extend an invitation to all interested voters to attend this forum, and hear the candidates’ vision for the future of Brooklyn, and NYC.
