Renewal through Preservation Award
The Greater Golden Hills CDC (GGHCDC) aims to recognize meaningful achievements in historic preservation and to increase public awareness, appreciation, and support for historic preservation throughout the communities of Greater Golden Hill. The GGHCDC invites nominations of exemplary projects that have restored or preserved a part of the Greater Golden Hill historical, architectural, archeological or cultural heritage. This award will recognize the best work in protecting a historic property within the communities of Greater Golden Hill. The historic property may be a building, structure, object, site or landmark. Commendable community and individual efforts such as advocacy, fund raising, creation of a protective ordinance, physical stabilization, and repair are also eligible for recognition. Examples of eligible projects include the restoration of a historic house, commercial building, bridge, statue, or a designed landscape. Routine maintenance, such as painting or reroofing, is not considered restoration work for the purposes of this award.
