“We had a substantial number of notarized objections to the listing from property owners,” said agency spokesman Randy Simons. “Therefore, we made the decision not to pursue the nomination at this time.”

However, the agency said it will work with property owners who wish to receive a historic designation for their individual buildings, according to the New York Daily News. [NYDN] – Christopher Cameron
