So our past has a future.

In 2014, the Preservation League of New York State launched a demonstration project designed to breathe new life into upstate New York’s vacant and underutilized industrial buildings.

Industrial Heritage Program

From the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 through the mid-20th century, companies constructed headquarters, warehouses, mills, manufacturing and utility buildings to support leading industries. However, in the second half of the 20th century, as much of manufacturing abandoned upstate New York, massive industrial buildings were left vacant. These structures now present significant development challenges. 
The Preservation League is working with Troy Architectural Program (TAP) to create development and rehabilitation plans for selected buildings, to illustrate the potential of the sites and to celebrate their host communities’ history. The project is supported by the J.M. Kaplan Fund with additional assistance from the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.
