AIA Austin Advocacy Roundtable: Preservation Bonus
Austin’s City Council adopted a Preservation Bonus as part of HOME Phase 1. The Preservation Bonus incentivizes preserving Austin’s pre-1960 housing stock while adding infill density to existing neighborhoods. Join AIA Austin’s Housing Advocacy leaders along with Preservation Austin leaders and city staff to understand our organizations’ advocacy efforts to strengthen the policy and ensure that the bonus is effective, attractive, and usable for those who might otherwise demolish older homes. Bring your lunch and come prepared for a robust discussion! Register
