NAPC: From our Nice Neighbors in Parrot Cove—Meeting Tonight.

We will have our regular meeting TONIGHT at 7:00 pm at the Beach Club located at the Lake Worth Golf Course. Our meeting is open to all neighbors. Our speaker this month will be City of Lake Worth Preservation Manager Aimee Sunny.

Aimee will be speaking to us about our historic neighborhood, preservation efforts, facts of local interest and how to navigate the process of performing improvements to historic homes and how that affects those who own them. Also the role of City staff in the process and what resources are available to homeowners. She will give a short presentation and answer questions from our membership.

Editor's note: As chair of the Historic Resource Preservation Board, I highly recommend that people attend this talk. I find that there is a lot of confusion out there about what historic preservation is and what it isn't. The more you know the less likely it will seem to be just another set of hoops to jump through but more like a way to increase the value of your home and neighborhood. It also will eliminate surprises as you make plans to improve your house in a historic district.
