ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The New York State Board for Historic Preservation has recommended adding 27 properties to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. These register listings can help owners to revitalizing their properties and make them eligible for public preservation programs and services,
“New York is defined by its diverse culture and history, and we will continue efforts to keep our state’s inspiring story alive,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “Adding these 27 sites to the State and National Registers will provide support and resources to preserve their rich heritage and help ensure future generations of New Yorkers can continue to be inspired.”
Over the last decade, New York State has approved the use of rehabilitation commercial tax credits for more than 1,000 historic properties. Between 2016 and 2020, The National Park Service said the credits generated 74,220 jobs nationally and more than $1.3 billion in local, state, and federal taxes.
The State and National Registers list buildings, structures, districts, landscapes, objects, and sites significant in the history, architecture, archaeology, and culture of New York State and the nation. There are more than 120,000 historic properties throughout the state listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Once recommendations are approved by the Commissioner, who is the State Historic Preservation Officer, the properties are listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and then nominated to the National Register of Historic Places, where they are reviewed and, once approved, entered on the National Register.
