“Really enjoyed the tour of archeological sites. Learned a lot about the different partnerships possible in historic preservation. Also, keynote at lunch was really informative.”

“I think this is a valuable conference for our far flung and disjointed state. I think it is worth repeating.”

 

The impact of Preservation “Don Rypkema brings his considerable expertise in real estate and economic development, along with his experience in small and large communities across the country, to this compelling presentation. He shares examples of the positive impact historic preservation has made through nationwide programs such as Main Street and the Federal Historic Tax Credits, as well as local initiatives such as historic district designations. He also offers observations on the changes in Idaho over the past several decades and the promise for the future.”
