Preservation Wayne celebrates 30 years of efforts, looks ahead

Preservation Wayne is marking its 30th anniversary this week.

The nonprofit is dedicated to “promoting and protecting Detroit’s historic built environment.”

The group’s efforts aim to preserve as well as revitalize Detroit’s historic areas, promoting awareness through events, lectures and media, as well as advocating for policies and preservation-friendly development.

“We’re looking to further the preservation ethic in Detroit and set the stage for efforts in Detroit for the next 30 years … and we’re looking to the community for help and input,” says Douglas McIntosh, Preservation Wayne’s president.

The group offers popular walking tours of the city. The tours help introduce people to the city’s architecture, history and landmarks. For more information on Preservation Wayne, go to http://www.preservationwayne.org.
