Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation’s

Annual Meeting of Membership & Preservation Recognition Awards

Saratoga Springs, NY:  On Thursday, September 23, 2021, at 5:30pm, the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation will host their Annual Meeting of Membership & Board of Directors, including Board of Director & Officer Elections and amending bylaws, and Preservation Recognition Award Ceremony.

This year the Foundation will award 18 projects in the city, recognizing those who have preserved the architectural heritage of Saratoga Springs. The public is invited to attend the Annual Meeting and Preservation Recognition Awards at Music Hall at City Hall, 474 Broadway.

“The Foundation is thrilled to gather our members and friends to celebrate the Foundation’s success of the past year and the many wonderful projects deserving of recognition. This is one of my favorite events because we are able to thank community members who invested in their properties and are dedicated to preserving Saratoga Springs. Best of all, we get to enjoy this event in the newly rehabilitated Music Hall, which not many people have had the opportunity to see,” said Executive Director Samantha Bosshart.

Award recipients will be honored and are invited to accept awards at this ceremony with the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation staff and Board.
