The purpose of the hearings is to provide a discussion forum for topics related to cultural heritage preservation. The March hearing will include a presentation by Regina Dick-Endrizzi from the Mayor’s Office of Small Business about the recently established Legacy Business program. The hearing will also provide an opportunity for members of the public to contribute to a growing list of businesses, community organizations, and neighborhoods institutions that deserve recognition and protection. Public participation in the hearing is encouraged. Please contact Shelley Caltagirone at 415.558.6625 for more information.
