BREAKING NEWS:

As of August 16th, the State has revealed the preliminary proposals it invited for ideas about how to redevelop and preserve the historic Main (Kirkbride) Building -- they are posted here. Preserve Greystone believes that these proposals present an opportunity that warrants further consideration from the State.

Preserve Greystone has filed suit against the Treasury Department for release of all correspondence related to the proposals. Our stated position has always been, and continues to be, that determining the future of this public heirloom deserves an open, participatory process in which all stakeholders are heard, and their positions known.

This evolving situation is receiving media attention at the State, County and local level. (Ledger)here, (Record)here, (Parsippany Life) here, Morristown Green here.

The issue has entered a new phase as developers with plans to save Greystone are going directly to local officials since they have never had a dialogue with the State. Two reports on one such meeting, with the points raised by our group and a developer in favor of preventing demolition, and the perspectives of the Town Council that covers the area where Greystone is located, can be found here (Daily Record) and here (Parsippany Patch). Less than a week after State Senators Pennachio and Bucco proposed legislation to limit transfer of the Greystone Park property solely to Morris County, which by precluding private re-development on the site would have effectively condemned its remaining historic structures, including the 1876 Kirkbride Building, to demolition, the Parsippany Town Council, by unanimous vote, passed a resolution tonight condemning the bill.
Parsippany's resolution urges  Pennachio and Bucco to withdraw their proposed bill so that every effort can be made to preserve the Kirkbride Building.

We'll be adding articles as they appear. Reports from one online news source, including Preserve Greystone's statement on its latest debate with the State, can be found here and here.
