I am going to be doing some things with agencies in that neighborhood, so it would be nice to know a little something.

My understanding, from about two months ago, is that CPED's Citizen 
Participation Department (Bob Cooper, et.al.) is removing CNIA as the 
neighborhood's representative organization. CNIA has lost the right to 
represent the neighborhood because it cannot repay NRP for some funds 
which were either not used or not accounted for correctly.
A new organization called CANDO, a spin off from Weed & Seed, will 
request/has requested that it be considered the citizen participation 
organization for Central. It either has already or is in the process of 
acquiring 501c3 status.
CANDO/W&S meets the second Wednesday of the month at 5:30 in the Media 
Rm of Green Central School. The ED is Sheryl Kabat. Board Chair: Mel North.
