Featured Speaker: Lori Salganicoff, CHHS Executive Director
Chestnut Hill Hotel Bombay Room
Program is Free and Open to Public
Chestnut Hill is a uniquely green, urban and historic Philadelphia village, celebrated as Philadelphia's Garden District and celebrated as one of the nation's largest National Register Historic Districts.  Yet this treasured cultural landscape faces unprecedented development pressures.  The Chestnut Hill Historical Society has worked for the last 49 years to document, share, and advocate for the preservation of Chestnut Hill's remarkable character.  Part of that advocacy is managing change, and Lori's talk will give you a snapshot of the many collaborative efforts currently underway, including the latest update on some developments that have been in the news!
 Lori’s unique perspective as an urban planner, preservationist and experienced leader in community improvement efforts in the greater Philadelphia area will benefit everyone interested in finding ways to balance preservation and growth in their communities.
