Mission

In May 2006, we formed the Citizens Emergency Committee to Preserve Preservation to focus attention on our city’s landmark emergency and to implement a campaign to aggressively address the three causes behind it. The Campaign will:

1. Ensure Fairness: LPC needs new procedures to improve openness and responsiveness to the public. No more deals behind closed doors!
2. Reestablish Commission Independence: Landmarks commissioners should be properly qualified when they are appointed to the job. Once appointed, they should be free to make the decisions that they think are right.
3. Secure Appropriate Resources: the LPC needs more staff and funding to meet the mandates spelled out in the Landmarks Law.
