On May 10, 2021, Village Preservation held a forum with candidates for the 3rd City Council District, currently occupied by term-limited City Councilmember Corey Johnson (district map here: [ Ссылка ]). This is a unique opportunity to hear from candidates about preservation, development, and planning issues in our neighborhood, and how they will deal with them as City Councilmember. Questions from the public were moderated by Village Preservation. Candidates included: Erik Bottcher, Phelan Dante Fitzpatrick, Marni Halasa, Aleta LaFargue, Leslie Boghosian Murphy, and Arthur Schwartz.

The City Council plays an enormously important role in land use, development, and preservation issues, particularly on the local level. They are local neighborhoods’ advocates and representatives to the city government. Village Preservation will also be holding candidate forums for the 1st and 2nd council districts (East Village, NoHo, parts of Greenwich Village) in conjunction with fellow community and preservation groups.

Educate yourself and ensure that your voice is heard!
