This committee is spear-headed by Dennis Galucki and will be the machine that markets our City’s architecture, neighborhoods, and park system - so imperative to ensure pride in ownership, community, and preservation. Many of our existing preservation organizations already provide service through tours, newsletters, and other types of presentations. This Committee will continue and enhance those efforts by communicating the activities of each group, identifying new landmarks and areas to promote, and pooling resources when appropriate.

It will be important for this Committee, in particular, to work with all other committees, particularly Comparative Research and Neighborhood Awareness. This Committee can utilize the experience of successful campaigns from other cities to create a strong image to attract positive attention here. In addition, the educational outreach to those outside of Western New York can and should be provided to those residents living in and around the properties being marketed. Ultimately, this committee can improve Buffalo’s image both here and abroad by promoting both uplifting and nostalgic assets that too few people currently appreciate.
