First Lady Chirlane McCray made a big Gracie Mansion announcement Tuesday – but it wasn’t a move-in date.

She said that Meredith Horsford would be executive director of the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, the non-profit that raises money for the official mayoral residence.

Horsford had been deputy director of the Historic House Trust, which preserves homes in city parks. She donated the maximum, $4,950, to Mayor de Blasio’s City Hall campaign last year.

The former head of the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, Susan Danilow, who was appointed by then Mayor Michael Bloomberg, resigned at the end of his term.

De Blasio has said his family would move to Gracie, but he has yet to set a date.
