landmark Member of Buffalo’s Young Preservationists to speak at Richmond Library, hosted by Landmark Society

If you’re interested in old buildings and young people, we hope you will join us from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 30, in the Gallery Room at the Richmond Memorial Library in Batavia. The Landmark Society of Genesee is hosting a talk by Derik Kane, CNUA, who will speak on the history and evolution of Buffalo’s Young Preservationists (BYP) and how it has become a national model for the “New School” of preservation. BYP members are not only concerned with the aesthetics and history of a building, but how it impacts the opportunities for livability, economic development, energy efficiency / sustainability, and social causes within the city. The Senior Planner for Genesee County, Derik serves on the Board of Directors of the Landmark Society of Genesee County, and has been a core member of BYP since 2012. This event is free and open to the public. No need to RSVP.
