If you work with, live in, or want to save a historic property, you won’t want to miss The Landmark Society’s 24th Annual Regional Preservation Conference on Saturday,
April 24. With an eye on the current economic climate and a focus on
renewable/green technologies and sustainability, this year’s conference is built
around preservation strategies for challenging times. From the economic benefits of reusing historic downtown buildings, to the ways homeowners can save money by preserving their homes’original features, you’ll learn how historic buildings and landscapes contribute to economically and environmentally healthy, sustainable communities.
The conference, now in its 24th year, is the gathering place for
people who live in, work with, or admire older buildings and neighborhoods and
want to:
-
Maintain
or restore a historic building
-
Save money
by restoring, rather than replacing, historic features
-
Revitalize
a neighborhood
-
Ensure
that historic buildings and landscapes contribute to economically and
environmentally healthy, sustainable communities
-
Enhance
the viability of a traditional downtown
-
Serve
your community as an elected official or member of a preservation, zoning,
or planning board
-
Understand
and evaluate historic buildings
-
Identify
promising opportunities in historic real estate
-
Network
with and learn from others who have similar interests and goals
