Community Service

On April 1, 2012, John J. Lynch was appointed by Manhattan Borough President Steve Stringer to serve on Manhattan Community Board 10. CB 10 is a local government agency of the City of New York encompassing Central Harlem in Manhattan. Like all other Community Boards in NYC, CB 10 is responsible for participating in long term community planning, Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) . reviewing applications for liquor licenses, sidewalk cafes, street fairs and street closings, assessing community needs in the City budget, ensuring the proper delivery of municipal services, advocating for the welfare of the Community District and its residents, and managing special projects that cater to specific community needs. Community Boards work closely with the Borough President, local City Council members and the City Planning Commission to meet these objectives. John serves on CB 10’s Economic Development Committee where he coordinates the Board’s review of all restaurant and bar liquor license and cabaret license applications and acts as liaison between the Board and license applicants and the State Liquor Authority. John serves as the Vice President of the Board of Managers of the Kalahari, a 249-unit residential development on West 116th Street. The Kalahari is one of New York City’s first LEED Gold-Certified (environmentally green) residential buildings. It is a mix of market rate and affordable, moderate income units. The Kalahari will soon be home to My Image Studio (MIST), an ambitious 20,000 square foot performance space and restaurant featuring film, theater and concerts dedicated to African and Latino culture. John is also active in the Frederick Douglass Boulevard Alliance, which is working to establish Frederick Douglass Boulevard as a “Model Corridor” in Northern Manhattan through community, public and private partnerships, the Mount Morris Park Community Improvement Association and the 116^th Street Community Association.
