The Agenda

To the Downcity Review Commission:

Thank you for the opportunity to make this statement. My name is Karen Jessup, and I have lived in Providence since 1970. I have taught preservation planning and urban revitalization in undergraduate and graduate programs in the US and the UK. I am also Chair of the Board of Advisors for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, an organization chartered by Congress in 1949. The National Trust currently has over 240,000 members.
