Queens Community Board 1 covers all of Astoria, parts of Long Island City, and Woodside, Queens. Our boundaries are: North – East River, Bowery Bay, East – 81st Street, Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, South – Queens Plaza No., Northern Boulevard, LIRR Tracks and West – East River.

The purpose of each New York City Community Board is to encourage and facilitate the participation of citizens within City government within their communities, and the efficient and effective organization of agencies that deliver municipal services in local communities and boroughs.

Our waterfront area provides the very best views of the City’s skyline, 

especially Astoria Park’s  Shore Boulevard.

Community Board 1 holds its regularly scheduled, full Board, meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at the Astoria World Manor, 

25-22 Astoria Boulevard  (On occasion time may vary, please check agenda.)
