The Old Brooklyn News goes Digital!

Welcome to the debut of the OB News Online! The Old Brooklyn Community Development staff is excited to share an expanded version of the printed Old Brooklyn News magazine that is delivered across Old Brooklyn. Currently, the Old Brooklyn News goes to more than 17,000 households and businesses in the neighborhood. It’s one of the best ways to connect with every neighbor and share information about what’s happening in OB. 

What to Expect

OBCDC will continue to publish quarterly editions of the Old Brooklyn News each March, June, September, and December. The digital edition, OB News Online, will be shared every month and include a feature article and a few mini-highlights of things happening in the neighborhood!

New Staff at OBCDC



Please help us in welcoming OBCDC’s new Neighborhood Development Coordinator, Connor Brentar!

Connor began his journey with the organization a few weeks ago and is working to get to know the neighborhood and OBCDC. Connor’s role consists of acting as a liaison between OBCDC and the business community of Old Brooklyn, developing unique placemaking initiatives & public realm improvements, and supporting the long-term health and sustainability of neighborhood commercial corridors. Connor says that he chose to join OBCDC because he was "impressed by all of the great work our team does, as well as the fact that Old Brooklyn has some really exciting things going in its favor at the moment!"

To contact Connor, email [email protected] or call 216-459-1000 x202.
