WHATIS: Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council (PHNDC)
The Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council, Inc. (PHNDC),
formed in the spring of 2004, is an umbrella group representing
Prospect Heights block associations and civic organizations. Some of
the group’s stated goals are to "guide development" and "preserve the diversity that is the hallmark of this vibrant community." PHNDC is probably best known for commissioning an independent neighborhood development study predicated at least in part by concerns over the potential negative impact of the Forest City Ratner Atlantic Yards Project on the neighborhood. Recently, the PHNDC has been meeting with the Borough President’s office in an effort to keep the residents of Prospect Heights involved in the development of the Environmental Impact Study (EIS). The founder and chair of PHNDC is Gib Veconi.
OK. There’s the first draft.
