Upper Manhattan Preservation Committee – Matthew Spady & Manhattan’s CB12
Tuesday, February 9, 2021
Mattew Spady and other members of Manhattan’s Community Board 12 met to discuss: “Securing landmark status for a neighborhood or individual building requires hours of work ranging from researching and writing a Request for Evaluation, to collaborating with neighbors and community leaders, to garnering support from elected officials, neighboring institutions, and building owners. Most often, years can pass from an initial idea for a landmark until the final designation, if the Landmarks Preservation Commission agrees that the suggested building or neighborhood is suitable for landmarking. So what compels people to start this process—and keeps them going in the face of setbacks, obstacles, and downright refusal?”
