From our friends at the Mississippi Heritage Trust comes an announcement of upcoming workshops from one end of the state to the other: Bay St. Louis, Clarksdale, Cleveland, Columbus, Corinth, Greenville, Greenwood, Gulfport, Oxford, Pascagoula, aaaaand–whew!–Tupelo.
Want to tackle that daunting rehab project by not sure where to begin?
Join the Mississippi Heritage Trust and instructors Mike Grote and Jonathan Leit with Alembic Development of New Orleans for a Preservation Toolkit Workshop to learn about the fundamental principles of historic preservation and real estate finance. Participants will learn about the legal framework of historic preservation, master basic real estate calculations, and explore how incentives like tax credits can help close the funding gap and bring historic places back to life.

Preservation in Mississippi 
Columbus is last on the list. At the rate the city and county’s “public servants” are tearing down historic buildings, there will not be that much to rehab. Just think, based on all the news that has come out of that city in the past few years, how much they will demolish between now and February.

Haha. Sorry for the vagueness of my question. How many hours each day are the workshops?
