preserving and revitalizing the past. Awards are presented at the
summer Annual
Meeting in categories ranging from preservation of public space;
education
projects to preserve local history; residential, commercial, and public
buildings; and community commitment to maintenance and creative use of
historic
buildings and structures. Special awards are given to recognize
especially
noteworthy achievements during the prior year, for example, saving a
local
diner for future use.
A
committee comprised of preservationists, architects, educators, and
developers
visit various sites and select preservation award winners. Nominations
