Announcing Work Group for City Preservation
Cynthia Johnson, the City’s
Historic Preservation Officer, will convene a group of preservation leaders to
determine the best possible reuse of older city buildings and, in the interim,
the City will move forward with measures to protect the building components
from environmental elements.
This work group is a precursor to
a larger community-wide initiative to take a more proactive approach to
protecting and preserving the city's most endangered historic structures. This
larger initiative will be led by Louisville Forward and engage all community
stakeholders to ensure we preserve our rich history and plan for redevelopment
of our treasured assets.
The group will look at ways to
develop new practices and improve existing methods for heritage
management. Those interested in participating in the work group should
contact Johnson at 574-2868 or Cynthia.Johnson@louisvilleky.gov. To
learn more about historic preservation, click here.
