New York: Profiting Through Preservation

In New York, economic development is a major goal for public officials, unions, and business leaders.  Their quest for new jobs often means building new offices, new convention centers, and new infrastructure.  But New York's most visionary leaders are taking another path that offers a significant competitive advantage.  They are using historic preservation as a central component to long-term economic development, and the strategy is working.

 

The Preservation League is pleased to announce the publication of a study on the economic benefits of historic preservation.  Funded by The Chase Manhattan Bank and the New York State Council on the Arts, the report was prepared by Donovan Rypkema, Principal, Real Estate Service Group, Inc., Washington D.C.

The report is available on the web as a pdf file:  New York: Profiting Through Preservation.
