"Northern Arizona Pioneers' Historical Society (NAPHS) has partnered with Townsite CLT's Treasure Flagstaff to hold a forum about historic preservation for City Council candidates. The first part (most of the time) will be spent on understanding what historic preservation is, how it is done, and why it contributes so much to a community -- socially and economically. The second part is for City Council candidates to answer questions or make a statement."
