Description

A series of public engagement sessions to inform the Cincinnati Historic Preservation Action Plan. Introducing the Cincinnati Historic Preservation Action Plan, a project led by a coalition of preservation organizations, Action Tank, creative partners, AND YOU to generate a roadmap for the future of historic preservation in Cincinnati. To develop this roadmap we need your input during these art infused community engagement sessions on historic preservation in Cincinnati. What are the places you value? Why do they matter to you? How would your life change if those places were to disappear? Is Cincinnati doing enough to preserve and celebrate your heritage? How can historic preservation help you, and how can you help strengthen the ways we use and understand historic preservation in Cincinnati? What issues do you perceive with preservation in Cincinnati? What solutions to these issues can you identify? We want to know!
