Montauk
Playhouse Listed on the New York State Preservation League's 2002 Seven
to Save List
November 20, 2002 The Preservation League of New York State recently announced its 2002 Seven to Save List, which includes the Montauk Playhouse, the only Long Island property to be recognized. The following paragraph was copied from the Preservation League's website. For more information log on to their site at www.preservenys.org. The 2002 Seven to Save list spotlights historic properties that exemplify challenges facing historic places across the state. Sites listed this year draw attention to the issues of municipal abandonment of historic downtowns, the need for a statewide “Main Street Revitalization Program” and for state passage of the Neighborhood Reinvestment Act. These seven valued historic places are in danger of disappearing due to inappropriate development, lack of funding and financial incentives, insensitive public policies, general neglect, disinvestment, and, in several cases, outright demolition. The list includes outstanding individual buildings, urban and village historic districts, and a historic bridge. The Preservation League pledges to work with local partners to provide legal assistance, technical services and advocacy support, with the goals of eliminating the threats to these places and to reaching meaningful solutions. |
