We received a disturbing email from the Dumbo Neighborhood Association over the weekend. According to the community group, a handful of big developers are pressuring the Landmarks Preservation Commission not to landmark the historic area. Chairman Bill Tierney has told DNA to demonstrate as much support for the designation as possibleby writing Tierney a letter (suggested text on the jump) and/or emailing him.
DUMBO Seeks Landmark Status [BH Blog]

Dear Chairman Tierney,
I am a resident property owner [or business owner] and I support
Landmark status for DUMBO without further delay. Destruction of
important 19th century industrial buildings is happening right now.
Please act immediately.
Sincerely,
Your Name and Address

Chairman Robert Tierney,
Landmark Preservation Commission,
