Rockville Named A "Preserve America" Community

Way to go, us! Our Fair City has been named a “Preserve America” city by the White House. We join a select few cities in Maryland (Annapolis, Baltimore, and Frederick).>

The Preserve America initiative, according to the City’s press release:

recognizes communities that protect and celebrate their heritage. This designation recognizes Rockville’s success in using historic assets for economic development and community revitalization while also encouraging residents and visitors to experience and appreciate local historic resources through education and heritage tourism programs.

“We take great pride in celebrating Rockville’s rich heritage and history,” said Rockville Mayor Susan Hoffmann. “To have our First Lady recognize Rockville with this honor means a great deal to our residents who are so desirous of preserving and protecting our past.”

According to one Rockville Central reader who drew my attention to this, it is “[g]reat news honoring the work of the City and its partnership with Peerless Rockville“

Couldn’t have said it better m’self.
