Councilman Nelsons Office — Nelson's new Voorhies Avenue location

Community members served by 48th District City Councilmember Michael C. Nelson will be pleased to hear that the new year also brings a new headquarters.

Previously located at 3810-A Nostrand Avenue, the office lease went up December 31, motivating Nelson’s camp to search of a new home. The councilman’s office now occupies the first floor of 1605 Voorhies Avenue – conveniently located in the heart of Sheepshead Bay.

Apart from the expired lease, another factor contributing to Nelson’s decision to relocate was to be near the center of his district, as opposed to sitting on the border of Councilman Lew Fidler’s and former Councilman Kendall Stewart’s districts. Now situated close to trains and buses, the ease of access to Councilman Nelson’s HQ has significantly increased.

The phone number remains the same, but may change as the office is set up.
