[MassHistPres] PM's Special Edition Most Endangered Historic Resources List: Nominations Open!

[Courtney Whelan]

*Preservation Massachusetts' Most Endangered Historic Resources List:
Special Edition
Nominations Open!*
*Application Deadline August 5, 2011*

Hello,


Preservation Massachusetts is now seeking nominations for our Most
Endangered Historic Resources Program.

Established in 1993, the Massachusetts’ Most Endangered Historic Resources
Program is one of our most important preservation advocacy and education
tools. Local groups or individuals who are deeply concerned about the
potential loss of these significant resources nominate sites from across the
state.  This list is just one of many steps in focusing statewide attention
on the condition of these historic resources and their importance to the
surrounding community. Often the list serves as a catalyst for action and
opportunities to preserve these historic pieces of our shared history.


This year’s list will be a *Special Edition focusing only on the communities
of Western Massachusetts hit by the damaging June 1st tornadoes and storms*.
For this reason *Preservation Massachusetts will only accept nominations
from the Western Massachusetts areas negatively affected by the storms: Agawam,
Brimfield, Monson, Springfield, Southbridge, Sturbridge, Westfield, West
Springfield, and Wilbraham.*

*

PM feels strongly that in order to continue our commitment to the needs of
the western Massachusetts constituency, it is imperative to keep the
spotlight on the areas devastated by this spring’s natural disaster. *PM’s
Most Endangered Historic Resources List will be an opportunity for continued
advocacy and education about preservation in these communities as they begin
to rebuild and restore.*
