Application
for the 2008 Community Preservation Awards
Awards are presented annually to local projects for a broad range of preservation activities, including stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration and adaptive reuse of historic structures; sensitive additions and modernizations; preservation of historic streetscapes; landscape preservation; and archaeology.
Award winning projects can include private residences, commercial properties, publicly- owned buildings, not-for-profit institutions and historic landscapes. Properties must be at least 75 years old to be eligible and primary emphasis will be given to exterior preservation, rehabilitation or restoration. However, if interior work is open to the public, it is also eligible for consideration.
The 2008 Preservation Awards
Projects completed between January 1, 1997 and January 1, 2008 will be
considered. The final selection of award-winning projects will be made
by a committee formed of representatives from the three sponsoring organizations.
Where appropriate, the projects will also be evaluated using the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for the preservation and rehabilitation
of historic structures. A project can be nominated either by the property
owner or by another individual or group, such as a neighborhood organization,
building contractor, architect or town body. Nominations from the general
public are strongly encouraged.
