RIOC Board Of Directors Meeting Thursday October 28 - Roosevelt Island Steam Tunnel Repair Design, Public Purpose Grants Administration Contract With NY Community Trust And Reauthorization Of PPF Funds To 4 Non Profits On Agenda

The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Board of Directors will meet 5:30 PM Thursday October 28, via video conference.  

You can watch the Board meeting here and ask questions or share concerns about Roosevelt Island during the opening Public Session before the start of the meeting. Sign up to speak here.

But be aware that RIOC Board Members and staff rarely respond to questions during any Public Session though they sometimes address the subject during the actual Board meeting.

Questions that could be asked - why is David Kapell remaining on the RIOC Board of Directors when he no longer lives on Roosevelt Island?

Also,  RIOC's new Main Street office  is hidden behind frosted windows. What message does that send to the community?
