Webinar – Saving the Mom-and-Pops: a Legacy Businesses Toolkit
Tuesday, May 5, 12 PM ET
Legacy businesses—the corner stores, family restaurants, and neighborhood shops that define our communities—are disappearing. Yet few preservation tools exist to protect these vital expressions of living cultural heritage, especially in BIPOC, ethnic, and immigrant neighborhoods.
In this webinar, Bennett King, MAHP ’25, introduces a comprehensive Legacy Business Program Toolkit that bridges this gap. Drawing on best practices from municipal and community-based programs nationwide, you'll discover practical strategies for identifying, supporting, and preserving culturally significant businesses in your community. Whether you're a preservation professional, community advocate, or local government official, you'll gain actionable insights into protecting both the tangible and intangible heritage that makes our neighborhoods unique.
