About the Event

Preservation will play a key role in New York’s recovery, in the same way it has through previous crises. As New Yorkers start reopening the City, the Landmarks Conservancy is pleased to present an update to our groundbreaking study on the economic impacts of preservation.

“Reality and Recovery: Historic Preservation in New York City”
VIEW THE REPORT HERE

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.
