We were thrilled to hold our 32nd annual Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards last night, back in person, at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It was wonderful to see so many friends and colleagues.
The awards honored a diverse array of preservation projects including new affordable housing, renewed park sites, and restoring the sleek silhouette of the Empire State Building spire. The owners of all our project buildings demonstrated their belief in New York. And the many jobs provided were a welcome boost to the City’s economy.

We were also delighted to honor Yuien Chin for her dedication to preserving Harlem, our former colleague Alex Herrera for his remarkable preservation career, and the Prospect Park Alliance for their years of work maintaining Olmsted and Vaux’s great masterwork.
We will be posting a video of the ceremony on YouTube within the next few days. The virtual awards programs we posted for the last two years have proved to be very popular. We’re pleased there is such an audience for preservation and will keep up our video productions.
