SIGN THE PETITION
 
The Hudson River Palisades and The Cloisters, were included on our 2014 World Monuments Watch
because the iconic view--designated a National Natural Landmark in 1983--would be irreparably damaged by the proposed LG Electronics USA complex, destroying one of America's most significant unspoiled vistas.  

Please help protect the Palisades. Sign our petition to urge LG Electronics USA to redesign its office plans so that its building does not tower above the ridgeline and spoil this extraordinary scenic and historic landmark.
