In December of 2001, the Board of Directors of the New York State Association of Land Surveyors (NYSAPLS) requested that we, the Delaware-Hudson Land Surveyors Association (DHLSA), an affiliate regional of NYSAPLS, undertake the task of setting a commemorative monument denoting the center of population for the State of New York, based upon the Census of 2000. • In January 2002, the DHLSA accepted this project and created a committee to run the project.
