What is involved in the 2008 Partners in Preservation initiative?
This year’s Partners in Preservation initiative focuses on New Orleans in honor of the city’s restoration and redevelopment efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The city was selected as a top priority to support preservation and recovery efforts that will ensure the survival of the area’s rich cultural assets and heritage tourism. Nine historic sites in areas affected by Katrina have been selected as grant recipients of the $400,000 that American Express has committed to this effort in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
