“Historic Fabric, Modern Needs” Program Oct. 24

SARATOGA SPRINGS— The City of Saratoga Springs, in partnership with the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, will present a free in-person program, “Historic Fabric, Modern Needs: Insights from Cincinnati’s Willkommen Infill Projects” with Emily S. Ahouse and Chad Burke at the “Skip” Scirocco Music Hall, 474 Broadway 3rd Floor, Saratoga Springs. 

The program will take place 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24. 

Emily S. Ahouse is the Zoning Administrator and Deputy Director of the Department of City Planning and Engagement for the City of Cincinnati where she oversees the day-to-day operations of the City’s Zoning Division and Historic Conservation Office. Chad Burke, AIA, LEED AP is a principal and the Mixed-Use market director at GBBN. 

The presentation will focus on three infill projects that are part of the larger Willkommen development in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.
