What We Do

SAVE QUOGUE represents residents who believe Village government can, and must, do more to preserve Quogue’s unique character.

Our work includes:

• Advocating for timely, effective, and responsible action by the Village government.

• Attending public hearings and meetings of the Board of Trustees, Design Review Board, Planning Board, and Zoning Board of Appeals when matters affecting historic preservation are under consideration.

• Reviewing and submitting comments on demolition, construction, subdivision, and other land-use applications that may affect Quogue’s historic character.

• Filing Freedom of Information Law requests when necessary to obtain information relevant to our mission.

• Proposing amendments to the Village Code that strengthen protections for historic properties and the Historic District.

• Recommending improvements to Village policies and procedures affecting preservation, demolition, design review, and compatible development.

• Educating residents about significant preservation issues and encouraging informed public participation.

• Playing a constructive role in Village elections by evaluating candidates’ positions on preservation and informing residents about the choices before them.

• Seeking input from Save Quogue members and providing residents with a meaningful voice in preservation matters.

SAVE QUOGUE is committed to vigorous but responsible advocacy. We believe preservation and thoughtful development can coexist - but only when government officials, property owners, and residents recognize that Quogue’s historic character is a public asset worthy of meaningful protection.
