According to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the nominations were reviewed on March 12.
“These nominations highlight the depth and diversity of New York’s historic places and the communities that value them. Through this work, we help identify and document the places that tell New York’s story while connecting property owners and communities with resources that support the preservation and revitalization of these historic places,” said New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Acting Commissioner Kathy Moser.
The NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation explain that once recommendations are approved by the Commissioner, the properties are listed in the New York State Register of Historic Places. They are then nominated to the National Register of Historic Places and reviewed by the National Park Service. If approved, they will be entered into the national register.
