Fort Lauderdale Ponders Preserving Its Past

Tired of slowly losing every shred of Fort Lauderdale history, city and historic leaders sat down on April 22nd to do something about it. In a gloomy budget year, they agreed they want to hire at least one person as a step toward building a Historic Preservation Department. They also want to consider incentives like tax breaks, grants, transfer of development rights and other ways to make the financial bottom line for historic preservation and restoration more favorable.
