Maryland Budget Provides Boost to Preservation Efforts

Next step: Advocacy Day

In order to make certain that these funding levels remain in the final budget, advocates from across the state will need to make their voices heard. Preservation Maryland is pleased to provide an opportunity to do just that at the annual History Advocacy Day, which is being held this year on February 1, 2018 in Annapolis.
