| Abstract |
"American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation today announced that the Chicago metro area was chosen as the next region for the community-based Partners in Preservation initiative. Following on the heels of the inaugural San Francisco Bay Area program, the Chicago metro area will be the second region to receive $1 million in funding from American Express under the initiative. The Chicago community will be invited to participate in the program by voting for their favorite landmark to ultimately choose the winning historic site from a list of contenders." |
