Preservation + Affordable Housing

Join us on October 24th at the Dubois Center at UNC Charlotte Center City for a discussion on historic preservation and affordable housing with Donovan Rypkema. Find event details here.

Mr. Rypkema is one of the foremost experts in the economics of preservation, and he will discuss how vital it is to preserve existing housing in a community. You can read more about him here. Mr. Rypkema is extremely effective in using data to demonstrate that there is a negative effect on housing affordability every time an older residence, regardless of its value, is demolished.

This event is being sponsored by Mecklenburg County, UNC Charlotte, and the Lee Institute. We hope to see you there!
