Recent Events

One of the core goals of the Green & Main Pilot Project is to provide an educational venue sustainable renovation and historic preservation.

To deliver on that goal, we are happy to share details of past education and outreach events that help others learn the benefits of incorporating environmentally conscious methods and materials into their renovations. Agendas, downloadable handouts, and presentations are provided where applicable, as well as photos of these past events.
