Preservationists Unite ~ National Preservation Conference

This October 2-6, 2007 Saint Paul, Minnesota will be hosting the National Preservation Conference and we will be attending on behalf of the Wilson Hotel rehabilitation project.  The conference theme this year is “Preservation Matters!”  This conference is sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The conference is the premier preservation conference in the United States for professionals in preservation and allied fields – including historic building owners like us.  According to the conference agenda, this conference brings together experts and practitioners in the diverse specialties that contribute to preservation – architecture & cultural landscapes, historic sites & heritage tourism (which Centralia is promoting with vigor), heritage education, downtown revitalization (kudos to the new Centralia Downtown Association), neighborhood revitalization (think Edison District), real estate development and more!
