SARATOGA SPRINGS —On Monday, July 22, at noon the City of Saratoga Springs, in partnership with the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, will present a free virtual program, “Lunch & Learn: Standards & Guidelines for Design Review” with Barbara A.M. Howard via Zoom.

Howard is the Managing Partner and Director of Heritage Preservation for Stonebridge Learning, where she develops mobile applications, digital publications, and online courses to help people recognize, preserve, and integrate historic resources into everyday life. In addition, she is a Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program (CAMP) trainer through the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NACP).

Howard will present the differences between preservation, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and restoration.
