The Historic Preservation Association of Coral Gables (HPACG)was presented with a “Certificate of Recognition” by the City of Coral Gables Office of the Mayor during National Preservation Month. HPACG has been instrumental in the restoration of the city’s White Way Lights commissioned in 1926 by city founder George Merrick.
“It was gratifying to highlight the major issues and projects directly attributed to HPACG’s efforts and advocacy during National Preservation Month,” said Karelia Martinez Carbonell, HPACG president.
Established in 1991, HPACG has achieved outstanding success in historic preservation efforts. In carrying out its mission, the HPACG has effectively communicated the value of historic preservation to its membership. Through its promotional activities, HPACG has exhibited leadership in issues of importance to historic preservation, and has established itself as one of the leaders in statewide preservation advocacy.
The organization has taken an active role in partnering with the city’s historic preservation efforts. Members of the HPACG have been active in supporting applicants for Special Certificates of Appropriateness and Determination of Historic Designation. Moreover, the HPACG disseminates information of the local tax incentives available to owners of historic properties.
