NHS Wins the Harlan H. Griswold Award from the CT Trust for Historic Preservation

On April 27, 2009, Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven was honored at the 2009 Connecticut Preservation Awards Ceremony held by the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation in Wethersfield. NHS Executive Director Jim Paley was on hand to accept the Harlan H. Griswold Award for Excellence presented by Helen Higgins, Executive Director of the CT Trust for Historic Preservation, and Karen Senich, Executive Director of the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism. The award "recognizes those individuals, corporations or organizations whose activities exemplify Harlan Griswold's leadership, vision and selfless dedication to preserving Connecticut's heritage and who by deed or example have made our state a better place for all of its citizens." NHS received special recognition for its 12 contiguous Fairlawn Manor houses, all of which appear on the State Register of Historic Places and are being meticulously restored to historic specifications.
