The Coney Island Development Corporation was formed in September 2003 by the Mayor, the City Council and the Brooklyn Borough President. The 13-member Board of the CIDC includes City officials, local and Brooklyn-wide business and community leaders. It is charged with spearheading and implementing a comprehensive planning process for Coney Island and creating a coordinated economic development strategy for the area. Each of the members serves for a term of two years.

Since 1980, Coney Island USA has told the story of why Coney Island is important enough to one day retake its place at
the cultural center of New York. The Coney Island Museum is at the heart of that mission. Its the only public repository documenting the history and culture of this important neighborhood. They fight to keep the history of this critical piece of American popular culture from being lost to the inevitable changes facing Coney Island today.
