PBN’s conservation easement program is designed to provide another tool to protect WNY’s treasure trove of historic buildings. A conservation easement (sometimes called a preservation easement) is a voluntary legal agreement that allows PBN to protect properties against demolition and to ensure that they maintain their character in perpetuity. Property owners who donate easements will get the peace of mind that comes with knowing their beloved building will be protected, and may also be eligible for substantial tax savings.
