Do older buildings provide a space for small businesses to thrive? Do historic neighborhoods increase home values? What are the economic impacts of historic preservation in St. Petersburg, exactly? We commissioned nationally recognized research firm PlaceEconomics to find out.
Celebrating our city’s past is just as important as protecting it. Preserve the ‘Burg brings the community together to learn about the unique landmarks and buildings that keep St. Pete special and celebrate the progress we have made in those efforts. Recognizing our city's past is the best way to celebrate what continues to make St. Petersburg such a special place.
Preserve the ‘Burg works to maintain St. Petersburg’s incredible sense of place through community outreach and advocacy. On any given day, PTB representatives may meet with city officials, developers, or owners of historic properties to educate about St. Pete’s history and culture and advocate for better preservation laws, place-conscious development, and thoughtful maintenance of our historic buildings.
Preserve the ‘Burg is successful because of the ongoing energy and support from the community! There are several ways you can help us as we work on our mission to Educate, Advocate, and Celebrate the history that makes St. Pete a special place to live.
