Preservation Maryland

The Baltimore National Heritage Area (BNHA) has recently announced eight deserving projects and organizations that will receive vital preservation funding through the agency’s Small Capital Grant Award program.

In a recent statewide poll conducted of likely voters, 90% of Marylanders expressed support for Program Open Space, a state program that supports the acquisition, conservation, and improvements at Maryland’s natural resources Additionally, 64% of Marylanders were opposed to diverting funds from Program Open Space for other budget uses.

Maryland’s Small Commercial Historic Tax Credit program has run out of money and requires immediate funding. This week, Senate and House committees will hold hearings for HB865/SB659 that would extend the life of this vital program by increasing the authorized funding amount by $1 million.

There is no question that preservationists put their heart into their work and communities. Inspired by the preservation movement, we encourage you to make an origami heart with our special edition phoenix origami paper.
