Design Review for Commissions and Design Committees
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
Protecting the exterior integrity of historic buildings can be a challenge for local preservation and design-review
groups. Darius Bryjka and Anna Margaret Barris of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency will show how the SHPO
applies the Standards for Rehabilitation, as interpreted by the National Park Service, to the exteriors of historic
residential and commercial buildings. To better communicate and preserve the unique character of their historic
districts some communities, such as Chicago, have adapted their guidelines to flexibly address development in
high demand areas. Lawrence Shure of the City of Chicago’s Historic Preservation Division will discuss initiatives to
develop creative approaches in evaluating and guiding specific proposals within Chicago’s historic districts.

Creative Placemaking for Main Street and Historic Downtown Districts
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
“Creative placemaking” has become a popular philosophy and a hands-on approach for refining the urban
design, sense of place, and visual appearance of our Main Street and downtown commercial districts. With a
particular focus on the arts, people, and their interactions with public spaces, creative placemaking has
improved urban design and public spaces while catalyzing economic development, encouraging pedestrian
activity and healthier communities, and enhancing collaboration between Main Street and Historic
Preservation organizations, artists, local residents, non-profits, businesses, and community foundations. This
session will focus on the elements of creative placemaking, forging a placemaking plan, and engaging artists
and stakeholders in the planning, implementing, and funding of placemaking. A case study on the creative
placemaking process for St. Cloud, Minnesota will also be presented.

A Main Street Fundraising Event Catalog
Many Main Street organizations rely on fundraising events to supply operating funds. This session examines
more than 100 different types of fundraising events in ten different categories, all designed only to raise
revenue. We will delve into the components of these events so that you’ll know what can be donated, sponsored,
offered in kind, or sold to boost the events’ net profits. This session will help you freshen up tired events or give
you some ideas for new ones. You’ll learn from audience members, too, who will be encouraged to add
suggestions throughout the session, which will be transcribed for all participants.

Concurrent Sessions II
10:30 am - 11:45 am
Taxing Districts Alphabet Soup: BIDs, SSAs, TIFs
1 AIA Learning Unit pending
There are a variety of tools that municipalities can use to foster economic development: Tax Increment Finance
Districts, Business Districts, Special Service Areas. Each comes with particular prerequisites and conditions and
with a variety of fundraising opportunities. They can provide a source of funds without raising tax rates
generally or at all, while they encourage private investment and guide rehabilitation and development. Steve
Kline will discuss how several of these tools can stimulate new private investment to help preserve and
revitalize the historic character of neighborhoods, central business districts, and Main Streets. Steve Combs will
talk about how one neighborhood association has used its residential TIF district to stabilize and enhance its
historic neighborhood. Moderator Richard Friedman will guide the discussion to illuminate the advantages and
limitations of these methods.

Keeping the Freeze Hot:
Promoting the Tax Freeze in Your Community
1 AIA Learning Unit pending
The Property Tax Assessment Freeze is the state’s only incentive for historic, owner-occupied housing. Thousands
of homeowners have taken advantage of it since its creation in the early 1980s, but has your Preservation
Commission used it to promote your mission and effectiveness? This session will discuss how the Assessment
Freeze works and how it can work for your Commission. It can help convince owners of the benefits of creating
local historic districts and landmarks, and the data it collects can help your Commission’s mission. This session
will give you a working knowledge of the freeze and how your local permit review can promote the Assessment
Freeze to your constituents.

Centering on Downtowns: Balance and Authenticity
in Comprehensive Planning
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
Downtown and preservation plans, whether standalone documents or integrated into community
comprehensive plans, can address issues such as economic development, sustainability, and re-densification.

Cheap Rents Aren’t Always Cheap:
Thinking Like a Downtown Property Owner
1 AIA Learning Unit pending
Emphasizing the economic fundamentals of downtown properties, this session considers four important
ownership factors in addressing improvements to typical downtown historic buildings. An ongoing
relationship with property owners is critical to any Main Street or historic preservation effort for one simple
reason – owners control tenancies. Understanding how owners make money and their ownership objectives,
including reinvestment, for any individual property are key to understanding the economic implications for
any traditional downtown. Strategies to enable ownership objectives that work for downtown will be
suggested and discussed.
Speaker: Moderator: Diane Williams, Director, Business Districts, Inc.

Legal Issues Update for Commissions and Preservation Advocates
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
This session will focus on new legal developments you should know that pertain to historic preservation. Join
preservation-law expert Richard Friedman as he demystifies and unravels often sticky legal issues that touch
all historic preservation commissions, such as due process, ethics, open meetings, communications, and
privacy. He will also examine FOIA, preservation easements, and give an update on the important case of
Hanna v. City of Chicago.
Speaker: Moderator: Richard Friedman, Neal and Leroy, LLC
Catherine O’Connor, Local Government Services Manager, IHPA
Green It or Lose It
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
The realities of global climate change, energy costs, resource depletion, excessive water use, and health issues
related to indoor air quality are fundamentally shifting the way communities and building professionals are
thinking about “greening” their built environment. Preservation professionals are not immune to this shifting
dynamic and must expand their knowledge of building science and practical strategies that make buildings
more resilient for the next economic downturn or extreme weather event. Join us for an important discussion
of the nuts and bolts of updating existing buildings and how these practices can readily be applied to
residential and commercial properties.

New Life for Old Buildings:
Marketing Strategies for Adaptive Reuse
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
Vacant historic buildings often continue to deteriorate not because they lack a viable reuse, but because we
fail to identify one. This session will focus on the steps you can take to effectively market historic buildings
in order to attract developers, new owners, or new partners. You will learn about Request for Proposals (RFP),
architectural plans to assist in reuse, code and regulatory compliance, and promoting available incentives.
This session will highlight reuses for challenge building types, and feature successful case studies
throughout the region.

Think Like a Realtor
1 AIA Learning Unit pending
Realtors can be terrific advocates for historic properties because they sit at the intersection
between historic homes and their potential new stewards. This session will examine how
realtors market properties, the regulatory environment in which they must operate, and the
tools they use. It will also explore ways to build partnerships with realtors to promote the
economic and cultural benefits of your community’s preservation efforts and historic
properties. The session will also discuss how preservation and Main Street advocates can reach
out to the real-estate community to educate them about historic-rehabilitation incentives, the
different levels of landmark designation, and the financial benefits to properties that are
individually landmarked or are in landmark districts.
Speakers:
Moderator: Christine Benuzzi, Illinois-Licensed Realtor
Joi Cuartero, Former Executive Director, Batavia MainStreet
Lisa DiChiera, Director of Advocacy, Landmarks Illinois
Curating an Authentic Downtown Experience
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
As the downtown-revitalization movement matures, we frequently find ourselves striving to
nurture and maintain that which is authentic, quirky and inherently local about our districts.
Inadvertently, we have become "curators" of buildings, spaces, and businesses as we seek to
establish a compelling sense of place. This session examines the idea of commercial-district
curation and helps identify the authentic in your town that must be preserved and enhanced.

Local Food System Development:
the Economic Potential in Your Community
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
Urban farming, local food production, food business entrepreneurs – the private and public
investment in local food industries – are having positive economic effects on our Main Streets and in
our neighborhoods and communities. Food-related businesses and local-food industries are creating
jobs, filling storefronts, and reusing historic and older buildings. Kathy Nyquist, Principal of New
Venture Advisors, LLC, works with clients on asset-based food systems development, and Kathleen
Logan Smith is Executive Director of Carbondale-based Food Works, a non-profit organization
facilitating the development of a regional food economy in Southern Illinois. Hear how the “growing”

Assessing the Heritage Tourism Potential of Your Downtown
1 AICP CM credit, 1 AIA Learning Unit pending
This workshop is for communities interested in utilizing their existing local tourism infrastructure
(hotels, attractions, recreational amenities) to attract more visitors to downtown businesses. We will
discuss inventorying your tourism assets and identifying and addressing gaps in visitor amenities.
Grounded in the methodology of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s long standing
Heritage Tourism program, this workshop examines the basic amenities you will need to provide a
satisfying visitor experience, including effective web sites, visitor brochures, and directional signage/
