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 here.
Panelists:
Lindsey Derrington: Executive Director, Preservation Austin
Chris Gannon, AIA: Principal, Shams Gannon Architecture; Chair-Elect, AIA Austin Housing Advocacy Committee
Ki Gray: President Austin Infill Coalition
Ben Leffler: Chief of Staff, City Council District 5
