WMAN Historic Preservation Initiative

As one of the most diverse and desirable neighborhoods in our historic city, West Mt. Airy faces uniquely intense pressures between historic preservation and development. Driven by varied – yet overlapping – guiding principles that promote the value of saving our tangible and intangible history for future generations, WMAN champions the economic, environmental, and community benefits of saving our historic places, while still recognizing the need to support managed growth and development in our community.

A group of dedicated neighbors meets regularly to strategize and take action to preserve historic structures in West Mt. Airy, and also works to spread an appreciation of the history of our area as reflected by these buildings through various print and digital content.
