PresPoll #1 Results: Biggest Preservation Win & Loss in 2015

Our first PresPoll #1 survey launched on March 15, 2016. We asked two open-ended questions: What was 2015’s biggest preservation win and biggest preservation loss. Answers ranged from specific building addresses to tax credit programs to the loss of Syrian monuments. We mapped site-specific responses within the US, which you can see below. Red represents losses … Continue reading “PresPoll #1 Results: Biggest Preservation Win & Loss in 2015”

Results of PresPoll #2 – Adaptive Reuse

The responses are unequivocal. Our respondents believe that without adaptive reuse you simply don’t have successful historic preservation. Three quarters felt adaptive reuse was critical; around a quarter felt it was important. One percent had no opinion. And zero people, ZERO, said that adaptive reuse was Not Important or of Little Importance. So for some … Continue reading “Results of PresPoll #2 – Adaptive Reuse”

RCI takes a road trip!

Summer is the season for road trips. We took a long one in June, winding up to Milwaukee from Georgia, looping through Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, then dipping down to New Orleans for a big conference and some beignets. We ate our fair share of ice cream and local diners’ fried specialties, but the real … Continue reading “RCI takes a road trip!”

And that’s the thanks they get…..small business and the American economy

We all know the litany of huge corporations who were bailed out by the US taxpayers under BOTH George Bush and Barack Obama (and those who don’t acknowledge the responsibility of both for that irresponsible idiocy are letting your partisanship get in the way of reality) – General Motors, AGI, Citibank, Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac, … Continue reading “And that’s the thanks they get…..small business and the American economy”

Citizens (and their government) doing the right thing

If you listen to the Tea Party people the government can’t do anything right; if you listen to the Occupy Wall Street people the government is the answer to all our problems. Both are not only misguided, they’re simply silly and ignore great examples of how government can be an effective partner for local initiatives. … Continue reading “Citizens (and their government) doing the right thing”

Common Sense to the Economic Debate

Thoughts from a Militant Moderate OK, nothing I am suggesting will immediately get us out of the fiscal mess we’re in…only time, common sense, and a willingness to put country over party will do that. But the demagogic, ideological lunatics on both sides of the political spectrum have amply demonstrated that they are lacking in … Continue reading “Common Sense to the Economic Debate”

We are thrilled to finally release our statewide study from Arkansas, where we looked at the impact of the state Main Street Program, the state historic tax credit program, and the preservation grant programs. Our team had the best time traveling across Arkansas hearing from communities about preservation in their town. Arkansas is a state with rich cultural and natural resources, but perhaps more importantly, it is rich with passionate advocates who work every day to protect, enhance, and celebrate the places that are meaningful to their communities. The Division of Arkansas Heritage has played no small role in this work. The programs and services administered by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program reach every corner of the state, supporting small businesses and promoting quality of life for residents in cities of all sizes. Read the full report below! #historicpreservation
