of Preservation Voters, which organizes coalitions
of community groups throughout New York City to educate elected
officials and candidates for office about preservation and development
issues in their council districts. Since 2007 HDC has initiated
successful Preservation Voters efforts in districts in Queens,
Brooklyn and Staten Island. The program will be expanded to all
51 districts prior to the November 2009 election cycle, making
your immediate support of this initiative all the more vital.
