We wind up our four part podcast presentation with Jennifer Fritz Williams, City of Elgin Preservation Specialist.  Jennifer covers a variety of programs, do's and don'ts, things to watch out for, and helpful web sites while talking us through the process of preserving our beautiful older homes, with sustainability in mind.

Again, the ECN would like to thank The Grand Victoria Foundation, the Gail Borden Public Library, and the City of Elgin for their support and collaboration in our Elgin Alive Community Town Hall presentations.

We have more informative and fun presentations in mind for the future as well, so stay tuned!

 

 

And we continue with Part 3 of 4 on our May 20th 2008 live on location presentation at the Gail Borden Public Library, with Eric Pepa, of Allen/Pepa Architects.  Here we continue with our theme of sustainable green thinking, with historic buildings and more, as Eric covers ideas from past and present projects.

We continue with our Elgin Alive Community Town Hall 4 part presentation on sustainable green initiatives. In this second part, Mark Billings of the ECN reminds us that even Historic homes can be a part of this movement.  Mark utilizes his own historic home as an example.
