The agency is soliciting feedback to better assist our designated retailers, restaurants, and other commercial establishments to understand the challenges they have in reopening, and how it can help.

1158 Broadway, Madison Square North Historic District

Dear New Yorkers,

As the city gets ready to restart, we need to help make it easier for businesses to open quickly and thrive. The Landmarks Preservation Commission recognizes that commercial business owners play a critical role in returning vibrancy and economic stability to the city. Recovery will call for adapting commercial spaces and buildings to meet social distancing requirements and other safety measures. LPC is exploring ways to make our processes and rules more flexible to allow businesses to adapt to these unique conditions. To aid in our planning of this initiative, we are soliciting ideas on the special needs of retailers and restaurants. We encourage owners and operators of restaurants and retail establishments who operate businesses in LPC designated buildings and districts to take this quick survey to help us identify and address your needs.

Click here to take the quick survey.

Sincerely,

Sarah Carroll

LPC Chair
