  • Alliance for Historic Landscape Preservation 35 Annual Meeting
    Alliance for Historic Landscape Preservation 35th Annual Meeting Abstracts of Papers, Works-In-Progress, and Posters Resilience, Renewal, and Renaissance: Keeping Cultural Landscapes Relevant Lynchburg, Virginia March 20–23, 2013 The Question of Relevance: Ideas from Italo Calvino Ian Firth, Professor Emeritus, University of Georgia, Athens In May 1999, Lynn Beebe, Poplar Forest's first president, challenged a group of professionals and academics involved in preservation to come up with ideas that would go beyond a conventional museum approach for this preservation project and give it additional relevance. At that time, acquisition of the surrounding landscape was still a major hurdle though restoration of Jefferson's house was well underway, so responses to Beebe's challenge focused on the use of the house. Now, in 2013, with work on the curtilage underway, the best way to treat and use the wider agricultural landscape of Jefferson's plantation remains the subject of debate. This situation is not unusual at many historic places. It can be attributed to various factors including the complex ecological and social problems that have to be addressed in large-scale landscape preservation projects, while the substantial costs of initial work and long-term maintenance inevitably raise questions about the relevance of such ambitious undertakings. Several authorities in the field of historic preservation including Kevin Lynch and David Lowenthal have addressed the issue of relevance and their ideas have been widely circulated. This presentation considers questions raised by someone less well known in this field, Italo Calvino. In his book 'Invisible Cities', Calvino presents a wide variety of ideas, many in the form of questions and caveats concerning attitudes towards our environment and our past.

  • Creating Opportunity in Northwest Baltimore Northwest Baltimore Faces a Pivotal Moment for Its Future
    Creating Opportunity in Northwest Baltimore Northwest Baltimore faces a pivotal moment for its future. The General Assembly is considering legislation that promises to bring a renaissance of economic opportunities and resources to the NW community. The legislative plan to redevelop Pimlico Race Course ensures the historic Preakness Stakes stays in Baltimore, offers a clear vision for horse racing’s future in Maryland, and creates the kind of momentum that is critical for redeveloping and strengthening Central Park Heights and beyond. The redevelopment of the Pimlico site is an extraordinary job-creating opportunity during construction and the many years that follow. What is Senate Bill 987/ House Bill 1056 (SB987/HB1056) – Racing and Community Development Act of 2020 (Senator Guzzone and Speaker Jones)? The plan – carefully negotiated by city leaders, the owners of the Maryland Jockey Club, and horse racing industry stakeholders – lays out a vision for a redesigned and rebuilt track that offers modernized facilities for the Preakness, as well as ways to use the property year-round — athletic fields in the infield; spaces for community meetings, arts festivals, concerts and banquets; and parcels for mixed-use commercial, retail and residential development, such as a supermarket, family and senior housing, office space and more. The plan would also provide for a new clubhouse, training facilities, stables and housing for track workers at Laurel Park, and donate the Bowie Training Center to government and education entities for primarily recreational uses. Why is SB987/HB1056 Good for Maryland and the Jewish Community? The Jewish community has long believed that Pimlico and the Preakness play critical roles in the economic vitality of both the nearby neighborhoods of Northwest Baltimore and greater Baltimore City.
