The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation offers design and technical assistance to Georgia Main Street cities, as well as to other communities throughout the state, in order to encourage the rehabilitation of historic downtown commercial buildings.
Local Main Street program managers, Regional Development Center conservation planners and building owners can contact the Main Street Design Assistance manager for on- or off-site technical support covering preservation issues and design alternatives. For a modest fee, recommendations can be prepared in the form of conceptual renderings and site plans.
Seminars, workshops, slide presentations and other events are also occasionally coordinated through the Main Street Design Assistance program in order to inform Main Street program directors, design committees, building owners, merchants and the general public about proper downtown design, historic preservation and building rehabilitation and maintenance.
