Historic Preservation Advisory Committee

The Historic Preservation Advisory Committee serves the County of Westchester by assisting the County to identify and preserve historic and archeological resources on County–owned property, thereby enhancing the value of these cultural resources.

The Committee consists of citizen members, possessing expertise in fields related to historic preservation, that are appointed by the County Executive, along with  representatives from the County Government serving in an ex-officio capacity.  The Department of Planning provides staff for the Committee.
