Video of SHHM Preservation Forum

The recent Preservation Forum on December 3, 2022 was a resounding success. Over 60 people attended SHHS’s second Preservation Forum held Saturday December 3rd at Christ Episcopal Church, and everyone agrees it was much needed and a great success.

Nancy Achenbach, President of SHHS kicked off the forum with opening remarks at 1:00 p.m. and then Randolph Croxton began moderating the event. The panel consisted of four (4) chairpersons of the Village Boards: Will Sharp, Harbor Committee; John Shaka, Planning Board; Jeanne Kane, Zoning Board of Appeals; and, Steve Williams, Historic Preservation & Architectural Review Board.

The goal of the forum was to share the village’s preservation oversight process, to increase transparency, and to “de-mystify” the day-to-day practical details required for the successful management of preserving history. Questions for the panel were submitted before the event as well as on the way in to the event.

Some of the comments heard following the event were:

“Much needed!” 
“Timely”
“This cleared up so much for me!”
“We need more of these.”
