SPA Historic Preservation Awards

Development in downtown Spokane is booming, and not just when it comes to newly constructed structures. A recent Spokesman-Review report shows that 2015 has seen a record-setting number of historic building projects eligible for property tax exemptions, given to qualified projects in such spaces. There seems to be a contagious, renewed interest in preserving Spokane’s structural past. To celebrate these efforts to preserve our city’s rich built history, Spokane Preservation Advocates hosts its second annual awards night to recognize those who are preserving and educating others about our city’s heritage. The event, open to all, includes a half-hour of socialization before the ceremony.

Sun, Nov. 8, at 6 pm • Free (donations accepted) and open to the public • Bing Crosby Theater • 901 W. Sprague • spokanepreservation.org
