News from Brooklyn Preservation Council


At the last meeting of the Brooklyn Preservation Council on May 20th, a slate of officers was elected for purposes of incorporating as a not-for-profit, and reports were heard from the various preservation groups, including the Committee to Save the Bay Ridge United Methodist Church, that make up the Council.

On the Council's draft list of "Proposed Individual Landmarks and Historic Districts Not Yet Calendared" are the Green Church and the Senator Street Historic District (25 buildings).

The Council will be among the more than 40 advocacy groups taking part in the May 28th rally on the steps of City Hall seeking restoration of the more than $300,000 the Mayor proposes to cut from the budget of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.

The Council's next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 24th, at 6 p.m. at Brooklyn Borough Hall, in the Borough President's first floor conference room.
