Jim Gold
Former Director, Bureau of Historic Sites at New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation
A resident of Saratoga Springs for almost forty years, Jim spent most of his career at the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (aka NYS Parks) as director of the Bureau of Historic Sites and the Peebles Island Resource Center. After retirement, he joined the board of the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation to advocate for and protect the city’s architectural and cultural landscape resources. He feels that Pitney Meadows Community Farm, as one of the last farms and significant open spaces within the city, is a unique community asset deserving of special attention and sensitive adaptive reuse.
