Preservationist

Michael Bruno

Through founding the Tuxedo Hudson Realty group, Bruno has sunk plenty of money into renewing this gated community at the base of the Ramapo Mountains, transforming many derelict properties into luxurious chalets. His efforts toward the preservation of historic buildings in Sloatsburg, including his work on the Valley Rock Inn development, earned him the 2018’s Pillar of New York Award from the Preservation League of New York State.
