PRESERVATION MASSACHUSETTS MOST ENDANGERED LIST

Preservation Massachusetts, the statewide non-profit historic
preservation organization, is now accepting nominations for their Most
Endangered List.  If your community is concerned about the potential
loss of a significant property, consider nominating it for the 2009 Most
Endangered List.  Properties included on the Most Endangered List
receive statewide publicity, advocacy and education about the importance
of these significant, yet threatened, resources.  Since the start of the
annual Most Endangered list in 1993, inclusion on the list has inspired
many to restore, rehabilitate or save listed properties.

The deadline for 2009 nominations is Friday, July 31, 2009.  For more
information, visit http://www.preservationmass.org/10me.shtml
