This afternoon, the Erie County Legislature passed the
budget, which includes a $20,000 increase in County funding for Graycliff, for
a total in 2015 of $54,510.
This extra funding will be used to defray costs associated with preserving buildings and grounds that the Conservancy has already restored. Because of the historic nature of the site, it often involves specialized labor, expensive materials and supplies, and the like to preserve our buildings and landscape. This is an enormous help.
Thank you so much to to each and everyone
one of you who took the time to make a call or email your legislator. And
a big thank you to all Graycliff’s supporters---Board members, volunteers, Facebook friends,
and Twitter followers, who also made calls and sent emails! Last but not
least, thank you to Buffalo’s Young Preservationists, who also supported this
increase.
Special thanks go to Chairman John Mills and Legislator Lynne Dixon, who spearheaded this increase, the entire Erie County Legislature which voted unanimously, and County Executive Mark Polancarz.
All best--Reine
