spaces. From the coast to Eastern Oregon, award recipients serve as outstanding and inspiring examples of historic preservation in Oregon. The DeMuro Award promotes historic preservation and reuse in Oregon and honors the legacy of our friend and Board member,
Art DeMuro, whose career embodied vision, persistence, creativity, excellence, and sound economics. Visit restoreoregon.org or follow @restoreoregon on your favorite social media platform to learn more about Restore Oregon and the DeMuro Awards.

through the preservation and reuse of historic and cultural places. We believe in a vibrant and equitable Oregon where historic preservation and reuse are crucial to solving the problems we face locally, statewide, and globally. As a statewide, 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization, Restore Oregon represents thousands of homeowners and renters, community activists, environmentalists, preservation-minded businesses, and supporters and users of historic places across Oregon. We advocate for effective preservation policies
and incentives, deliver preservation-focused education programs, and directly intervene to save endangered places.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
