Where do heritage and sustainability meet? Restoring historic buildings!
Are you interested in developing, designing or rehabilitating older buildings? Join us to hear a panel of experts discussing green historic renovation as they come together to share the inter-connectivity between historic preservation and green building.
From design details to financing hurdles, this will be an interactive presentation for those looking for hands-on solutions or a supportive conversation about saving our existing buildings. Bring your questions about your own projects and chat with the presenters after the tour. Preservationists, rehabbers, building owners, construction professionals and everyone interested in this topic are all welcome.
This event will run concurrently with the second weekend of the Sherman Hill Neighborhood’s Historic Homes Tour. Help us kick off this year’s inaugural Green Building Forum and then stay around the neighborhood to celebrate their ongoing progress towards restoring the neighborhood.
This event has been funded in part by a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation in conjunction with Iowa Heartland Resource Conservation and Development. Our thanks go to these groups.
