Preservation League of New York State Participates in National Preservation Advocacy Week

The League joined with other preservation colleagues from around the state, including representatives from the New York Landmarks Conservancy and the New York State Historic Preservation Office for a week of virtual Congressional meetings to advocate for preservation to our NY Representatives.

Among the asks:

  • $150 million appropriation towards HPF Funding for 2022;

  • Urging to join the historic preservation caucus; and

  • Improvements to the federal historic tax credit (HTC) program with the goals of bringing more value to HTC transactions and encouraging redevelopment of smaller, income-producing properties and increasing the credit from 20-30%.

Nationwide, 200 meetings were attended over the course of the week and advocates from 42 states were represented. A great showing of advocacy for historic preservation!
