Partners in Preservation, a partnership between American Express and National Trust for Historic Preservation, invites the public to vote from April 15 to May 12 for the places they would like to receive $1M preservation funding. The winner of the public vote is guaranteed to receive a grant. The remainder of the $1 million in available funding will be distributed among a yet to be determined number of projects by American Express, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and an advisory committee comprised of Seattle-Puget Sound area civic and preservation leaders taking into account the results of the public vote. The final grant decisions will be announced on June 15. First Hill's own Town Hall is on the list (currently in 2nd place behind the Fifth Avenue Theatre) - you can vote once per day until 5/12/10.
