 Preservation isn’t just about where George Washington slept. Preservation is a smart-growth tool that 

creates fabulous communities and enhances local economies and small businesses. Preservation is also a green movement, as it encourages the recycling of buildings, rather than costly teardowns. In the end, the greenest building is the one already standing.

When you attend a Town Hall you can expect to:

• Find out how to make the case for preservation and more opportunities to get involved,
• Receive training and an advocacy toolkit to help make you an effective preservation advocate.
