Greenwich Historical Society and Historic Properties of Greenwich Strike Partnership to Permanently Protect Town’s Fast Disappearing Architectural Heritage Written by Laura McCormick
Alliance Kicks Off with Seminar on Economic Benefits of Historic Property Protection

With the escalation in homes being demolished for more contemporary structures, the need for protecting Greenwich’s classic New England heritage is greater than ever. Since 2002, there have been 1,896 residential demolition permits issued in Greenwich, for an annual average of 105. If this rate continues, Greenwich will forever lose its distinctive charm.
