State seeking testimony regarding Ridgewood Reservoir
NY looking to designate site as a
state and national historic place

HOW YOU CAN HELP

The State Historic Preservation Office will be considering NYCH2O's nomination of the Ridgewood Reservoir to the State and National Registers of Historic Places at its upcoming December 7th meeting in Albany. We are asking our members to write letters of support to SHPO in advance of this hearing. A slideshow discussing the history of the reservoir is included linked for reference.

Please send your comments to the SHPO at the address below and copy newtownhistory@gmail.com . Comments must be received by December 6, 2017, in order to be considered by the State Board for Historic Preservation when it reviews this district. A draft copy of the proposed nomination will be posted at www.nysparks.com/SHPO  prior to the December 7th board meeting.
