The DC Preservation League is pleased to announce it is now in the second phase of its partnership with the DC Office of Planning, PlaceEconomics, and Brick & Story to develop a first-of-its-kind historic preservation impact study. The final product — expected in December 2025 — will combine research, data analysis, and community input to lay out the impacts of historic preservation on economic, social, and racial equity in Washington, DC. 

DCPL is elated that the project is finally in progress, as both city officials and preservationists will benefit from a shared understanding of the real-time impacts preservation initiatives have in the District.

The project is 60% funded and ?DCPL continues to seek support from grantmaking foundations, neighborhood preservation groups, the building industry, and other interested stakeholders. This work is a critical priority for DCPL, and members and supporters are encouraged to donate (link below). All funders will be acknowledged in the final report.
