 The awards are regarded as the pinnacle of achievement in historic preservation. Winning projects demonstrate the immediate and long-term benefits of historic preservation by engaging any number of preservation tools in the furtherance of strong, just, and sustainable communities. Crosstown's a marvelous example of what can be achieved when we dream big, when we approach challenges as if there is nothing to lose and everything to gain. This story is about people and community. It's a story of hope and healing and of reuse and rebirth. This type of restoration really has been a bridge where micro-communities previously at odds with each other have now come together. Not that many projects received these awards and we're very, very proud and honored and we want to share that pride with all of our community.
