Long considered “saved,” Greenwich Village was one of the earliest and largest districts to achieve landmark status and is the place where tourists and locals flock to see historic old New York streets and buildings. But the Village also includes areas not covered by landmark designation. While new zoning is in place in some of them, there are projects proposed that threaten the Village’s character and scale. Andrew Berman (Executive Director, GVSHP); David Gruber (Chair, Institutions Committee Community Board 2), and Sean Sweeney (Director, SoHo Alliance) will discuss the old and new Village in a program moderated by Anthony Wood. This program is co-sponsored by the Museum of the City of New York.

GVSHP programs are supported in part by generous grants secured by City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Councilmembers Rosie Mendez and Alan Gerson through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and State Senator Tom Duane and Assemblymember Deborah Glick through the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Support is also provided by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, the New York State Council on the Arts, the J.M. Kaplan Fund, the New York University Community Fund, and GVSHP members.
