Endangered Properties List

Project:  The BHPA could develop and promote a list of properties in Blair that are in danger of being demolished, let to deteriorate, or retrofitted in without care of the historical context. This list would raise community awareness and help in efforts to prepare the community and individuals to identify actions to insure that these properties will continue to exist and exist in their historic context.

Tasks: Identify properties that might be in danger. Develop talking points describing the dangers.  Discuss this list with the properties owners and obtain permission to make their listing public.  Promote this list to the public on the website, at speaking engagements and the media.
