HDC Preservation School!


Hello, Six to Celebrate partners!
 
HDC would like to extend free admission to you for our upcoming Preservation School series.  It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn a lot about historic preservation practice in NYC in a short amount of time.  We will likely be restructuring the program next year, so this is your last chance to catch these classes!
 
If you’re not already familiar, the program welcomes professionals in the field to give concise lectures about their area of expertise.  There are four classes, each 90 minutes long and offered once a week in October.  I’ve attached the program announcement, descriptions of the classes and instructor bios if you’d like to learn more.  This info is also on our website.
 
The first class, entitled “Preservation 101,”  is this Thursday.  It will provide an overview of the various preservation regulations in NYC, as well as the broader governing structure for land use issues, like zoning.
 
There is no need to register online – simply respond to this email and let me know if you’d like to be put on the list for individual classes or for the entire series.
 
We hope to see you there!
 
All the best,

CORD HISTORY:

With the "Protect Our Homes" petition, CORD was formed in May, 2007. This petition arose as an overwhelmingly negative response to the coming of the over-sized 360 Smith Street Development at the corner of Smith Street and Second Place (Aka Oliver House; aka 131 Second Place). This petition, which had well over three thousand signatures, led to a new zoning text amendment in summer of 2008.

To: Our Elected Officials, Community Leaders, The MTA:
(MAY, 2007)

We the undersigned Carroll Gardens homeowners and residents, are appalled by the "as of right" ruling which allows owners and developers to erect buildings in our neighborhood with no regard to the impact they will present to our quality of life and the value of our homes........
