When discussing historic preservation, the idea of "community" comes up frequently.
"Historic preservation is a great way to bring people together and see what their community is and has been," said Kristin Olson of Historic Ithaca.
"It's saying, 'We care about this place. We don't want strip malls here, running up through it and up and around it,'" said Vicky Romanoff, founder of historic preservation firm V. Romanoff and Associates.
