WHY: Without full restoration of funding from the City, the Landmarks
Preservation Commission will suffer further cutbacks to its
already brutally insufficient resources ... and our City's
history-- resources like West-Park Presbyterian Church, the
proposed West End Avenue Historic District, and other
beloved places--will be lost.
Our city's historic buildings and neighborhoods are what draw people to come to New York and to stay here. The City must make preservation a priority! Past
Lobby Days have resulted in greater Landmarks Preservation Commission
funding and demonstrated the breadth of the preservation community. We need you to join us to demonstrate that preservation is for the people and benefits all New Yorkers!
