Much has happened in 25 years. The MHPN is best known for spearheading passage in 1999 of the Michigan Historic Preservation Tax Incentives. We are responsible for keeping PA 169 (1970), the “Local Historic Districts Act,” strong. We produced the first analysis of preservation’s economic benefit to Michigan. We train hundreds of people each year through our conferences and workshops.

Today, we are witness to an unprecedented shift in attitude toward preservation. For the first time, a wide array of people and organizations are embracing the same issues as we. Common interests extend from revitalizing neighborhoods and downtowns, to developing much-needed housing in some of Michigan’s oldest urban centers, adapting all types of historic buildings for current uses, and highlighting Michigan’s rich rural, agricultural, and shoreline heritage. The time is right to THINK BIG! Come to East Lansing to learn about how communities are tackling the issues with methods that include preservation: Main Street …“Cool Cities” …Neighborhood Revitalization … Adaptive Reuse of Schools …Heritage Tourism …Countering Sprawl …Repopulating Cities …Sustainable Growth …and more. The conference also includes our popular Construction Trades Council Symposium, speakers who will address the tools needed for success, and sessions for Historic District Commissions and Committees. Join us!

4 About our hosts: City of East Lansing and Michigan State University

East Lansing’s first houses, known as Faculty Row, were built on the college campus in the 1850’s, and thereafter the city’s history and growth paralleled that of Michigan State University. In those days, the village served the needs of teacher and student. An early village planner was the college’s world famous botanist, William James Beal, who, with mathematician Rolla C. Carpenter, laid out an area just north of campus as a residential tract.

The rush to expansion boomed in the new century and, in 1907, “Collegeville” and adjacent neighborhoods were chartered as East Lansing. Many of the historic homes in the city today reflect the architectural styles of the first quarter of the century. The East Lansing Businessman’s Association, many of whose members were faculty at the college, was instrumental in the town’s expansion. This early association has become today’s East Lansing Merchants Group that continues its commitment to the city.

East Lansing is now more than eight times larger than at its founding. Its population of roughly 50,000 has evolved to include business and professional women and men, families of all configurations and ethnic backgrounds, international residents, government and elected officials, and MSU faculty and students. Similarly, MSU has grown from its original 677 acres at its founding in 1855 to 5,192 acres of rolling and wooded landscape with over 660 buildings. Its 44,500 students come from all 83 Michigan counties, all 50 states, and over 125 countries; pursue over 200 programs of study in 14 degree-granting colleges and an affiliated law school; and are taught by 4,500 faculty and academic staff.

East Lansing’s preservation movement had its genesis with residents who recognized the architectural richness of their community and whose work culminated with City Council appointing a 14-member Historic District Study Committee in May of 1986 in accordance with Michigan’s enabling legislation. Over 3,000 structures were surveyed and photographed in 1986-87. Council adopted the first Historic Preservation Code in July of 1989 when it also appointed the first Historic District Commission. Six geographical and two thematic districts were included in the ordinance enacted by Council. Currently, 826 properties are protected by the ordinance. The city’s preservation movement triumphed when a former neighborhood school built in 1926 was adaptively reused as the East Lansing Hannah Community Center. Providing space and programming for social, cultural, recreational, and educational activities that benefit the residents of East Lansing, it serves as the location for our conference this year.

Michigan State University’s preservation activities resulted more from an ethic than a movement. Long before MSU’s “Campus Heritage Initiative” had a name, the University applied basic tenets of good stewardship because they simply were consonant with fiscal frugality and agriculture’s traditional loathing of waste. Thus, campus buildings have remained in use in large part for their original purposes, historic character is retained, and deteriorated features are repaired rather than replaced. It is not that every building is conserved without question, but rather that campus buildings are factored into decision-making. East Lansing and MSU welcome you to visit!

5 “THINK BIG: Preservation Creates Cool” TRACK A – Thursday, April 14 and Friday, April 15: For a quarter century, the Michigan Historic Preservation Network has been an unwavering proponent of having historic properties remain in use, not only for the visual diversity they lend the Michigan landscape but because it makes good economic sense. The shift in how others have come to embrace preservation is welcomed. We applaud that such great new initiatives as Cool Cities recognize that historic preservation can do much to assure their success in many communities. New partnerships have provided the impetus for this 25th Annual Statewide Conference – and this theme track, in particular – to celebrate that preservation does indeed create cool!

7 “TOOLS FOR SUCCESS” TRACK B – Thursday, April 14 and Friday, April 15: When strategies for Smart Growth are being developed, the Michigan Historic Preservation Network fully supports that historic properties of all kinds be included. In including them, however, it is important to understand them as fully as possible to reap the greatest good. The reward for including historic properties and using them sensibly is they bring their own array of incentives, benefits, and programs that can boost the possibility of success for any initiative. This track is designed to explore the available tools for success.
