Two types of awards were given.
The Public Education and Awareness Award is for increasing interest in historic preservation. Eligible activities include media, newsletters, publications, interpretation, original research, educational programs and special events that have substantially increased public understanding and awareness of historic preservation at the local, regional or state level.
The Preservation Merit Award is for preserving Ohio’s prehistory, history, architecture or culture. Eligible activities include restoring, rehabilitating or otherwise preserving an important building or site, longtime stewardship of a property, promoting protective legislation, funding preservation projects, offering leadership, support or service and furthering preservation at the local, regional or state level.
“By recognizing individuals, businesses and organizations for outstanding historic preservation projects, we’re raising awareness of the importance of preservation for Ohio,” Burt Logan, Ohio Historical Society CEO and state historic preservation officer, said in a statement. “Their contributions not only help to save our state’s architectural heritage, they promote local economic development and enrich the quality of life in their communities.
