Making News, Making Meetings!

Meetings:

Our next monthly meeting will be delayed due to a conflict with the Rent Guidelines Board Meeting.

We encourage everyone to turn out to this meeting, at Finklestein Library on Tuesday, June 11, at 7:00 PM.

The CUPON-SV meeting is rescheduled to the following Tuesday, June 18, at 7:00 PM at the First Baptist Church.

Our agenda will be to review and discuss the intense media scrutiny of our village and our issues. See you then!

Media:

Spring Valley has been in the news a lot lately! There have been several excellent articles and broadcasts covering the issues with overcrowded dilapidated housing and schools, and the rush of poorly planned new construction.

Also Senator Skoufis has begun investigations into these issues in our area. We hope they will lead to real consequences for those who exploit our community, and better quality of life for our neighborhoods!

Here is just a sample of the major media coverage of our issues:
