GPA Planners Lunch: Preserving Endangered Sites and StructuresAPA Georgia ChapterRome, GA This three-session event will have a consistent theme: sites and structures that contribute to the lasting character of a community are worthy of preservation for future generations. The State of Georgia Historic Preservation Outreach Program Manager will speak on current statewide challenges to historic preservation efforts as well as successes. During lunch, an overview of the host facility will be given by local government staff, including discussion of the efforts to renovate and reuse the 80-year old structure. A regional environmental planner will discuss the need to think beyond structures in relation to historic preservation. Information will be presented on a grassroots effort to purchase and preserve Civil War battlefield sites in a Northwest Georgia county.
The event will be held in Rome at the 1934 Old Main School. This facility has recently been renovated for administrative offices and programs that serve disadvantaged youth.
