Preservation Maryland recently announced receiving a grant from the 1772 Foundation to develop a feasibility and business planning process for a state Historic Properties Redevelopment Program. One of our first steps is to find out from people like you where there are unmet preservation needs.

We are asking folks affiliated with preservation across Maryland, to please respond to this quick 8-question survey. Respondents should answer each question to the best of your knowledge, and you may leave a question blank if you are uncertain of the answer. Thank you for your time! We appreciate your continuing support in saving Maryland’s irreplaceable built heritage.

PLEASE RESPOND BY FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2016 — THE SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED

“A historic properties redevelopment program, or revolving fund, is an active real estate-based program for protecting endangered properties using techniques such as: options, purchase/resale, easements and tax credits.  These historic structures ultimately are returned to the private sector with deed restrictions in place. Any proceeds realized from transactions are “recycled” to sustain the proactive preservation efforts of the program.  The goal of these programs is community redevelopment using historic preservation as a tool.” – 1772 Foundation
