Advocacy at Greater Portland Landmarks

Preservation advocacy is at the heart of the mission of Greater Portland Landmarks. It takes many forms, including generating awareness of imminent threats, researching and documenting local resources, participating in community review and legislative processes, offering assistance to property owners for rehabilitation possibilities, meeting with developers, architects, and realtors about projects, and showcasing successes and the value of preservation in our communities. Above all, our advocacy efforts strive to maintain greater Portland’s sense of place while helping the region develop for the future, balancing preservation with change. In course, we strive for preservation to play an active role in some of the most pressing current needs of our communities, including climate change, affordable housing, and DEIJ. Read below about some of our initiatives and ways to get involved!
