The Michigan Historic Preservation Network presents the Thirty-Eighth Annual Statewide Preservation Conference at the East Lansing Hannah Community Center Proactive Preservation May 17 –19, 2018 • East Lansing, Michigan introduction  H istoric preservationists are skilled advocates for the work we although few of us would think of ourselves that way Our efforts generally attract little attention We work quietly alone or in a variety of partnerships focused on a goal Patience is a hallmark Think, for example, of the volunteers surveying the architectural resources in their town Up and down the streets they go taking photos every Saturday; the library research takes months The volunteers talk with their neighbors about recognizing and protecting what’s special about their community The best way to that is with a local protective ordinance they explain These are not easy conversations because property owners can be wary, but their methodical work leads to passage of an ordinance and designation of the first local historic district maze of financial packaging Elsewhere, effective OpEd pieces go into local papers, challenges to state enabling legislation are thwarted, foundations make grants to game-changing projects, and blogs speak to the unlimited possibilities of historic properties Preservationists masterfully use the facts to convince, persuade, influence, and win over With tact, they coax people and projects along When energies are flagging, they inspire and encourage And it goes without saying that they applaud, encourage, praise, and cheer on! Or we think of the development team that wants to save an abandoned historic building They seem to be the only ones, however, who see its potential for adaptive reuse Seeking financing, the team finds lenders who are skeptical that a worn out building can be reclaimed The resulting loan-to-value ratio is low so the developers employ their best negotiating skills to secure layers of grants, private equity, municipal loans, and tax credits The project is a success Our conference this year recognizes just how much proactive preservationists have gotten done in Michigan to maintain their traditional downtowns and neighborhoods, understand and protect their pre-historic and historic archaeological resources, safeguard architectural treasures of the recent past, revitalize their Legacy Cities, counter development pressures on shoreline and agricultural communities, and more We’ll ask the question: Can we recognize that we indeed possess finely-tuned advocacy skills that can be harnessed to overcome bigger challenges, take on daunting projects, and bring people along with us on our mission to safeguard what’s special about Michigan? Is this kind of everyday advocacy effective? Yes, just look around Over 70 governmental units in Michigan have passed protective ordinances because surveys are completed, property owner questions are answered, and public hearing presentations are compelling For the historic buildings that few see as ripe for development, the developers negotiate their way through the front cover and this page: Janet Kreger, Photographer For full brochure photo credits, please see page 37 Denise McGeen mhpn president We’ll use East Lansing—as well as Lansing and surrounding communities—to come up with answers together Join us! Nancy Finegood mhpn executive director introduction  ABOUT OUR HOST COMMUNITY 2018 KEYNOTE SPEAKER Welcome to the City of East Lansing Renee Kuhlman director of policy outreach, government relations & policy, national trust for historic preservation, washington, dc FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2018, 12:45–2 PM FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC EAST LANSING HANNAH COMMUNITY CENTER, ALBERT A WHITE PERFORMING ARTS THEATER See map on page 23 for location and free adjacent parking E ast Lansing’s first houses, known as Faculty Row, were built on the college campus in the 1850’s, and thereafter the city’s history and growth paralleled that of Michigan State University In those days, the village served the needs of teacher and student An early village planner was the college’s world famous botanist, William James Beal, who, with mathematician Rolla C Carpenter, laid out an area just north of campus as a residential tract The rush to expansion boomed in the new century and, in 1907, “Collegeville” and adjacent neighborhoods were chartered as East Lansing Many of the historic homes in the city today reflect the architectural styles of the first quarter of the century The East Lansing Businessman’s Association, many of whose members were faculty at the college, was instrumental in the town’s expansion This early association has become today’s East Lansing Merchants Group that continues its commitment to the city East Lansing is now more than eight times larger than at its founding Its population of roughly 50,000 has evolved to include business and professional women and men, families of all configurations and ethnic backgrounds, international residents, government and elected officials, and MSU faculty and students Its preservation movement began with residents who recognized the architectural richness of their community and whose work culminated with City Council appointing a 14-member Historic District Study Committee in 1986 Over 3,000 structures were  welcome to city of east lansing surveyed in 1986-87 Council adopted the first Historic Preservation Code in 1989 when it also appointed the first Historic District Commission Six geographical districts and two thematic districts comprising individual properties were recognized Currently, over 800 properties are protected by the ordinance On the MSU campus nearby, preservation often results from a kind of stewardship consonant with fiscal frugality and agriculture’s traditional loathing of waste Many historic campus buildings remain in use, their historic character retained Preservationists recognize that their activities need to keep pace with other community initiatives if they are to play a role in promoting East Lansing’s economic health and quality of life The HDC wants to resurvey original districts, knowing that buildings once deemed non-contributing may warrant protection 25 years later These same districts have a stunning array of mature trees and features like alleyways and parks, none of which were surveyed in the 1980s There also are striking examples of Mid-Century Modern buildings, newly restored buildings, and additional districts that need to be safeguarded None of this work happens by itself It takes citizen involvement and civic leadership with finely-honed advocacy skills to move things forward East Lansing’s history of preservation efforts, its current activities, and its plans for the future parallel those of other communities around the state Let’s explore our options together Join us in East Lansing! —Your 2018 Conference Planning Group Advocacy: The Heart of Preservation Advocacy is at the heart of what we as preservationists Whether it’s legislative or local advocacy, being proactive is important Renee Kuhlman shares insights into this critical skill that we need to successfully revitalize the older parts of our neighborhoods and towns As a veteran of many advocacy campaigns, Renee shares the sometimes hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking lessons learned Early in her career, she directed the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation in Virginia which successfully managed to get a big box retail store to change its plans to build next to George Washington’s boyhood home Renee describes how a small nonprofit beat back a Goliath-like national corporation In 2005, as Director of State and Local Policy at the National Trust, Renee directed an advocacy pilot program The Michigan Historic Preservation Network was one of five statewide preservation programs selected to participate Renee reflects on the lessons learned through the pilot and shares what the MHPN and the other four organizations have accomplished in the intervening years Currently, Renee helps advocates at the state level to put in place, expand, or protect state Historic Tax Credits In 1994, only eight states offered such credits; today, there are thirty-five Every year, Renee participates in a dozen advocacy efforts across the country Hear what common Continuing Education AICP: CM 1.25; AIA: 1.25 HSW factors the successful campaigns share and how these advocacy lessons can be replicated Over the past five years, advocates led by the National Trust had been requesting that Congress retain the federal Historic Tax Credit during tax reform Renee shares the exciting story of how “grassroots” advocacy retained the credit in the final tax bill when others were reduced or eliminated before it was signed into law in December of 2017 We are fortunate to have Renee Kuhlman as our 2018 Keynote Speaker as Michigan preservationists advocate for reinstatement of our own Michigan Historic Preservation Tax Credit Be inspired to speak loudly and clearly for Michigan’s historic resources MORE ABOUT OUR 2018 SPEAKER… Renee does more than campaign for stateand federal-level Historic Tax Credits!
