Samantha Bosshart, executive director of the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, has published an excellent piece on the history of historic preservation in Saratoga Springs. In the article, which appeared in the Saratogian, she presents details from a study her organization did in partnership with the City Council. The study makes a slew of comparisons in terms of real estate values comparing property in the historic districts with those outside them. Well worth the read.
