On Wednesday, December 6, 2017, local citizens and Preservation Maryland will host a panel discussion at Smoketown Brewing Station entitled, “Revitalizing Brunswick: Using our Heritage to Create a More Prosperous Future.”
Organizations which specialize in economic redevelopment in historic communities, including Preservation Maryland and 1000 Friends of Maryland, will lead the conversation with a focus on strategies that have worked around the state and nation.
As a part of its rural community outreach efforts, Preservation Maryland is assisting local citizens who are interested in beginning a broader dialogue about the future of the City of Brunswick. Specifically, these citizens have an interest in determining a way to balance preservation with growth and to encourage the revitalization of the downtown utilizing a pro-preservation framework. The goal of the forum is to begin a thoughtful dialogue on the City of Brunswick’s future and to encourage the retention and preservation of more historic buildings.
