Mayoral Candidates to Weigh In On Preservation in NYC
In a few short months, New Yorkers will decide whether to grant Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg a third term or give another candidate a chance to prove their mettle.
The Mayor declined a recent invitation from our coalition to discuss his position on historic preservation and neighborhood planning issues. So where do the other 2009 Mayoral Candidates stand? Ask them over coffee and danish!
