About Us

For more than 80 years, the Vinson Institute has worked with public officials throughout Georgia and around the world to improve governance and people's lives. From Georgia's early days as a largely agrarian state with a modest population to its modern-day status as a national and international force in business, industry, and politics with a population of almost 10 million, the Institute has helped government leaders navigate change and forge strong directions for a better Georgia.

Feature — Historic Preservation Commission Training

The new historic preservation commission training program is designed especially for commission members and staff but will be relevant to others involved in the process at the local level. Subject experts will lead participants through informative discussions of preservation law, design guidelines, procedures, administrative issues, local preservation, and community development strategies. A different community will host each spring and fall session so that the training can be ongoing and held at convenient locations throughout the state.

The Vinson Institute is carrying out the training in partnership with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division, the Georgia Alliance of Preservation Commissions, and the University of Georgia’s Center for Community Design and Preservation.
