To: NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission:
We the undersigned support the landmark designation of proposed historic districts in Bedford Stuyvesant.
We respectfully urge the Landmarks Preservation Commission to swiftly begin landmarking efforts in Bedford Stuyvesant.
Landmark status is the only way to preserve and protect New York City’s largest, and one of Brooklyn’s most significant collection of brownstones and rowhouses from insensitive development and destruction of its intact 19th century streetscapes. We need comprehensive protection to preserve the neighborhood’s historic architecture, cultural fabric and sense of place. Your action will help stabilize property values, encourage civic pride and ensure the preservation of these structures for the education, pleasure, and benefit of future generations.
Sincerely.
The Undersigned
This area is special. Dont let the character vanish into thin air just so companies can make a quick buck.
