5/1/13 - The Howell Downtown Development Authority has planned events in the coming weeks as part of National Historic Preservation Month, which begins today. The 7th annual Historic Preservation Awards will be presented at a ceremony on May 16th. The awards honor property owners in the city who have made efforts to preserve, restore, or improve historic buildings in the downtown area. That ceremony will take place at 6pm on the third floor of First National Bank. In the spirit of maintaining the city, the Doing Good Downtown cleanup event will take place on May 13th. Volunteers are asked to meet at the DDA office on State Street at 6:30pm with any work gloves, brooms, or rakes they may have. The city will provide trash bags for the cleanup and tee-shirts for the volunteers. Some local merchants will also provide special offers as part of the Howell Employee Appreciation Days, which will take place from May 13th through the 18th. (TD)
