5/16/14 - The eighth annual DDA Preservation Award Ceremony was held last night at the First Presbyterian Church on Grand River in downtown Howell. The event was free and open to the public. To be eligible for the awards, historical buildings must be over fifty years old, or be included in the special new development category. The nominations for the awards were open, and the winners were selected from the nominees by the DDA. This yearâs deadline for nominations was March 7th. Awards were presented in three categories: interior design, exterior design and overall stewardship. The award for interior design was given to the J Christopher Salon and the award for exterior design was given to Joe Parker for his work on the Heart of Howell Building. The First Presbyterian Church took home the award for overall stewardship. The church thanked the DDA for their continued involvement in the preservation of the historic district of downtown Howell. The DDA also took this time to acknowledge outreach coordinator Lindsey Wooten, for her work as she prepares to head the mainstreet organization for the City of Wayne.
