HERITAGE NEWSLETTER OF THE UTAH HERITAGE FOUNDATION WINTER 2011 7 2011 PRESERVATION CONFERENCE

2011 Preservation Conference | Preservation With A Purpose May 12-14, 2011 “Development without a historic preservation component is not sustainable.” That is what Don Rypkema will tell you and then prove to you at our 5th annual Preservation Conference. Historic preservation adds to the economic impact of sustainable developments including new local businesses, cohesive communities, and heritage tourism. Rypkema is recognized as an industry leader in the economics of preserving historic structures. He is the principal of PlaceEconomics, a Washington, D.C.-based real estate and economic development-consult- ing firm. The firm specializes in services to public and non-profit sector clients who are dealing with downtown and neighborhood commercial district revitalization and the reuse of historic structures. In 2004 Ryp- kema established Heritage Strategies International, a new firm created to provide similar services to world-wide clients. He also teaches a graduate course in preservation economics at the University of Pennsylvania. Rypkema is well known throughout the preservation world, but is making his way through the business and economic development world by peddling the power of preservation. With several case studies to support his claim that historic preservation is, in fact, profitable, he claims “development without downtown revitalization and historic preservation components is not sustainable.”
