WEDNESDAY: Community forum on historic designation for Prospect Heights
From Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council phndc.org
On Wednesday, September 19 at 7:00PM, please join PHNDC and invited guest speakers for a community forum on historic designation for Prospect Heights, to be held in the auditorium of P.S. 9, 80 Underhill Avenue at St. Marks Avenue.
Prospect Heights has remained remarkably free from large-scale physical change, making it a perfect candidate for historic district designation by New York City's Landmarks Preservation Commission. But without such designation soon, that may well change. A strong real estate market and the development of Atlantic Yards just adjacent to the proposed historic district will exert immense development pressures on the neighborhood, posing a threat to its sense of place and historic character.
