MISSION STATEMENT: The Central Astoria Local Development Coalition has been in existence as a non-profit neighborhood preservation organization since 1979. Central Astoria's mission is to conduct activities designed to combat neighborhood deterioration. The mission is carried out through government and privately funded programs which assist and advocate for business organizations, tenants and owners of small residential buildings, and provide cultural enrichment to the community.

The following boundaries define Central Astoria's catchments area: North - Astoria Boulevard; South - Northern Boulevard; East - Brooklyn Queens Expressway; West - East River.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS: The Central Astoria LDC Board of Directors is composed of individuals representing business associations, civic organizations and individual businesses operating within Central Astoria's catchments area. Their affiliations create a network for the exchange of ideas and common support on issues that effect neighborhood preservation.
