ACTION NEEDED
  • Take a look at the results of the BBLA 2020 Membership Survey here. A significant amount of the membership have spoken and BBLA is listening - many thanks to those who participated. A summary of the major "take aways" is below.
 
  • BBLA Membership Renewal for 2021 is now accessible. With holidays around the corner, take time out NOW to renew online - it's a new streamlined process. Be sure to encourage your neighbors to become BBLA members - increased membership makes for a stronger BBLA.
 
  • Mark your calendars and read registration instructions for a virtual public hearing on 11/13/20 . The purpose of the hearing is to receive public comments regarding a renewal of the franchise agreement with Mediacom and a possible new franchise agreement with Comcast.
