Advocates are rallying to preserve the historic Wells College in the Finger Lakes after its abrupt closure earlier this year. The Preservation Association of Central New York (PACNY) is working with the Preservation League of New York State (PLNYS) to include the college on the Seven to Save list, which would provide vital advocacy and resources.
Supporters emphasized the importance of the nomination in protecting Wells College’s buildings and collections. The college shut down after the spring semester, citing financial difficulties, leaving the future of its campus uncertain.
PACNY is urging supporters to submit letters before the Nov. 1 deadline, hoping the nomination will unite stakeholders to preserve the college’s legacy and prevent further damage to its historic assets.
