Reality and Recovery: Historic Preservation in New York City

Preservation will play a key role in the City’s recovery, just as it has through previous crises. The Landmarks Conservancy has updated its groundbreaking study on the economic impacts of preservation.

“Reality and Recovery: Historic Preservation in New York City” will be released on September 10.

Among the findings:

• Historic districts are the location of choice for a wide range of businesses.

• Jobs in the rapidly growing high-tech sector, and the arts and entertainment industries are particularly drawn to historic districts.

• Businesses owned by women and minorities are disproportionately located in historic districts.

Join the author, economist Donovan Rypkema, and several respondents for a virtual discussion. September 10 at 6:30 p.m.
