About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Dear Ms. Daly:

Following review by the Fort Greene Association of a thorough study by Prof. Andrew Dolkart of Columbia University, and appraisal by the LPC staff to define additional areas of Fort Greene well worthy of Historic Designation, and agreement to this by the City Council member for the 35th District, Letitia James -- we urge you and the LPC to calendar a hearing soonest toward an extension of the Fort Greene Historic District.

We know that from its beginning in 1978, Historic Designation has benefited our area. Virtually all derelict housing and empty lots have been revived, bringing with it new pride and stability for a thriving multi-ethnic community. Additionally in fulfillment of the neighborhood promise many new business have arrived to flourish here because Historic Designation stimulated a resourceful core of consumers.

For these and many other reasons, we again request a calendared hearing soonest by the LPC for an extended Fort Greene Historic District.
