The Creation of Preservation Buffalo
Niagara
At the end
of 2007, nationally
recognized consultant Elizabeth B. Waters
was invited to Buffalo (through funding from several not-for-profits including the
Landmark Society and the Preservation Coalition) to assess the state of preservation
in Buffalo. She issued a critical report in February 2008 entitled
Buffalo Historic Preservation Issues
and Opportunities Assessment.
After
the Landmark Society and the Preservation Coalition joined to form Preservation
Buffalo Niagara in October 2008, many of the criticisms in the Waters Report were
muted. Local, state, and national praise followed:
On February 18, 2009, Preservation Buffalo Niagara
announced that it was awarded a three-year, $117,500 Partners in the Field
matching grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to hire a full time
Preservation Specialist to provide information about historic preservation
techniques and programs throughout a 7-county western New York region. FULL PRESS RELEASE
