May is National Preservation Month and as usual we will be taking this time to celebrate some of the many preservation projects in Asheville and Buncombe County. Because we can’t meet in person this year, we will be posting videos of the winning projects throughout the month. We hope you will help us celebrate these wonderful projects and the people who made them happen all month long!
