(New York, NY) – At a public meeting today, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) made determinations on properties that were calendared prior to 2010 and were not acted upon, marking a significant milestone in LPC’s Backlog Initiative. The decisions are based upon extensive outreach and research by the Commission. Thirty sites that have gone decades without action will now be prioritized for landmark status, including three buildings in Brooklyn’s Greenwood Cemetery, the Pepsi Cola sign in Long Island City, Staten Island’s Prince’s Bay Lighthouse, Immaculate Conception Church in the Bronx and Manhattan’s Bergdorf Goodman store.
