Everywhere you look, Rhode Island is rich with historic towns and buildings. They set our state apart and attract admiring visitors from around the world. But they are fragile legacies.
If you care about these places, I invite you to join or renew your membership with Preserve Rhode Island. We are the only statewide non-profit organization working to preserve the treasures that make our state unique -- and we depend on your support for the work we do.
The economic benefits for towns and neighborhoods of re-purposing old buildings is enormous. As you know, one of our major initiatives is working towards a new a Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program. It is one of many initiatives that Preserve Rhode Island will help lead this year.
May is membership month at Preserve Rhode Island. To help make membership fit everyone's budget, we have introduced a new $15 Preservation Advocate membership category. If you rely on the statewide news we share in Around the Block and our other preservation alerts, I hope you will join now.
The challenges are many, but when many voices speak up, great things can happen. Add your voice to the chorus -- become a Preserve Rhode Island member today!
