Join us online for three seminars on preserving the historic built environment presented in partnership with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission. If you are considering rehabilitation or preservation of a historic property (whether as a homeowner, business owner, or real estate developer), you will learn about the wide range of preservation tools to assist your efforts. Topics covered over the three days will include local historic landmark designation, national register listing and tax incentives and preservation easements. Presenters will be professional staff from local agencies (Charlotte Historic District Commission and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission), the State Historic Preservation Office and nonprofit groups (Preservation North Carolina and Preserve Mecklenburg Inc).
