The Vinson Institute offers historic preservation commission training annually in different host locations throughout the state in partnership with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division, the Georgia Alliance for Preservation Commissions, and the UGA Center for Community Design and Preservation.

This specialized training explains how to administer local preservation ordinances more effectively. You will learn about preservation law, design guidelines, procedures, administrative issues, local preservation planning, and community development strategies.

In addition to those who serve on commissions, the training can benefit local planning and development officials, city and county attorneys, historic property owners, Main Street and Better HomeTown managers and board members, and local building inspectors.
