“Navigating the ins and outs of building in a Historic District can be tricky, but North Hempstead is here to provide necessary guidance for our residents,” said DeSena. “It is important to me that our residents have an open line of communication with their government.
“I care very deeply about the protection of historic sites throughout our wonderful town,” said Shahverdi. “Our historic districts serve to remind us of the pioneers that helped build North Hempstead, and it is important that we honor their legacy by preserving the landmarks that make our town so unique.”
