Preservation by the numbers. In 2016, the New York Landmarks Conservancy published the first comprehensive study of the economic benefits of preservation in New York City. The results confirmed what advocates have often said: that preservation is an economic engine for the City, creating jobs and attracting tourists. The study also showed that historic districts are dense and diverse. A 2020 update found that historic buildings are a top choice for all kinds of businesses and will be critical to the City’s recovery.
