Hi VID Members and friends,

Our upcoming Membership Meeting will be Thursday, June 13, 2024, 6:15 p.m. Please note early start time.

We are fortunate to have 2 featured speakers:  City Councilmember ERIK BOTTCHER and Village Preservation Executive Director, ANDREW BERMAN to speak about the pros and cons of the City of Yes zoning and affordable housing proposal, and what the changes will mean for our community, with Q&A.  This is a complicated subject, with sometimes conflicting needs to maximize affordable housing, while respecting the character of the neighborhood.
