Statewide HPC Training in Carrollton Postponed
The Georgia statewide HPC Training in Carrollton has been postponed. The statewide training, offered in partnership with the Georgia Historic Preservation Division, the Georgia Alliance for Preservation Commissions, the UGA Center for Community Design and Preservation, and the UGA Carl Vinson Institute of Government has been postponed due to the low number of committed registrants. We have surmised from public input that the current financial crisis has impacted the availability of local government funds for training.
Those who had registered will receive a full refund from the UGA Carl Vinson Institute of Government. Please allow 3-4 weeks for the refund. If you have questions, please contact Chrissy Marlowe. If you have questions about the general HPC/ CLG program please contact Leigh Burns at 404.651.5181.
We hope to have information available in early 2011 for the rescheduled training. We will post that information on the HPD website

The establishment of the Glenwood subdivision occurred 100 years after Thomasville and Thomas County were opened for settlement in the early 1820s. When the city limits were expanded in 1925, they encompassed almost all of what is now the Glenwood Historic District. The plans included landscape amenities such as sidewalks, public flowerbeds, and sweeping drives. Initial development was slow through the 1930s, but new developers and additional land resulted in the gradual build-out of the neighborhood from the 1940s through the early 1960s. Glenwood is important as an early planned modern subdivision in Thomasville that reflects some of the predominant national trends of its time. More information is available on our website.
