December Preservation Advocacy & Fundraiser Dates!

Our December Events Calendar is PACKED! We have advocacy, education, art, and exercise (bowling!) this month! See our events below.

Local Landmark Hearings at the City of Buffalo Preservation Board – 12/19

Join us at City Hall on 12/19 at 3 pm (Room 902) to support and advocate for the local landmark applications for St. Martin of Tours, All Saints, St. Michaels, and the Brewers Hill Historic District. These hearings are open to the public and each application will be reviewed and decided on by the City of Buffalo Preservation Board. If the applications are approved, they will go onto the Buffalo Common Council for a decision in early 2025.

Can’t come? Send an email of support to info@pbnsaves.org.  The email doesn’t have to be long or include fancy language – just a reminder that our history matters and we want to celebrate and protect it.

Do you own a historic home in a historic district – join us on 12/19? (Elmwood, Allentown, Hamlin Park & More)

Join us on 12/19 for our Historic Homeowner Tax Credit Workshop! This virtual event is FREE and will have Tom Yots from Preservation Studios and Francis Stern from SHPO available to answer questions. We will review the application process and discuss what repairs and rehab work qualify for the tax credit. Let us help you save money on those repairs for 2025!
