Updated: Jun 20, 2022
What is the building or site that you want to save? Is it one building or a whole neighborhood?
When saving a building from neglect or demolition the best way is to find and make a list of all the people who can help in the saving and preservation of the building that needs attention.
“Who are the people in the surrounding community?.” Make a list of every group of people in the surrounding community which can all bring support in saving a historic site.
Here is a list of various groups of people who can offer support and
