YARMOUTH — The annual Maine Preservation Honor Awards deadline to nominate recipients has been extended to Jan. 5.
The awards have celebrated excellence in historic preservation since 1998, focusing on the transformative rehabilitation of historic buildings and the people that make those projects possible. The awards are also looking to recognize the grassroots efforts of folks advocating for important places in their communities, the creative activation of underused open spaces, the long haulers who steward historic buildings across the state and the legacy businesses that serve as cornerstones of our downtowns.
“It is through these projects and people that the cultural and economic vitality of Maine is strengthened for the future,” Maine Preservation said.
The extension is in order to broaden the scope of the program, and the annual celebrate has been postponed until spring.
Previous nominations are still under consideration, but to nominate a rehabilitation project, passionate community advocate or creative placemaking initiative, visit the Maine Preservation website.
