Annual Governor's Awards for Historic Preservation

Governor Jennifer Granholm is leading the mission to strengthen and revitalize Michigan cities and neighborhoods. The goal of her Cool Cities initiative is to attract and retain a creative, vibrant population that will thrive and contribute to Michigan's economy and sense of community. Historic sites are a key component of a sustainable, green, "cool city."
