Historic Preservation and The Portland Plan
Historic Preservation and the Portland Plan -
Understanding and Untangling all the Parts!
Saturday, June 30 10:00 am - noon
What could be more fitting for our very last formal "Partners in the Field" National Trust supported preservation advocacy program than the subject we started our initiative with-the Portland Plan? As all of the related planning work has proceeded, we've participated every step of the way-and we find that there is lots of public confusion out there. Of course, we want to dispel that and we have just the right program to do it!
Members: $8 General Public: $15
