State Review Board Meeting Agenda

Mayor Brian Johnson, in a letter mailed to every property owner in the Historic District in October, stated, “The Village of Philmont is working with a historic preservation consultant to submit a nomination of the Village of Philmont Historic District for listing on the State and National Registries of Historic Places. We have pursued this designation so that property owners may take advantage of the New York State Homeowner’s Tax Credit Program and the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program.” He further added, “We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the many community members who have spent countless hours over the last 3 years to make the Village of Philmont Historic District possible, including Philmont Beautification, Inc. acting as the Project Manager, the 15 volunteer members of the Heritage Working Group who met monthly, and the grants secured by Philmont Beautification, Inc. that in part made it possible to hire the historic preservation consultant, including grants received from the Preserve New York program of the Preservation League of NYS, NoVo Foundation, and NYS Office of Planning, Development and Community Infrastructure BOA program.
