Honoree: Grace Belkin (1930-2013) was District Manager of Community Board 8 from its inception, under the 1977 City Charter, and remained in that post for 30 years. She was instrumental in the formulaion of stable zoning to match the character of CB8's neighborhoods and the preservation of its Special Natural Area District. Mindful of classroom overcrowding, she opposed the use of the City’s property adjacent to the Kennedy Campus for anything other than school construction. She successfully advocated for CB 8 to have its own local salt storage for quick access by Sanitation’s snow crews. She sheperded many capital budget projects to fruition, including reconstruction of the retaining walls along Johnson Avenue and Palisade Avenue. (Cohen)
