National Preservation Month

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – The City of Corpus Christi will celebrate National Preservation Month in May to recognize the importance of historic sites and landmarks.  Historic preservation enhances the local economy through heritage tourism and creates a sense of place through community revitalization. Several activities are planned for National Preservation Month:

• On Tuesday, May 18, 2021, the Proclamation for National Preservation Month will occur at the City Council meeting.  The Council meeting begins at 11:30 a.m.
• On Thursday, May 20, 2021, the City of Corpus Christi Landmark Commission will host an awards ceremony to recognize local preservation efforts. The ceremony is at 4:30 p.m. and will be broadcast at www.cctexas.com/cctv and www.youtube.com/user/CCTVCorpusChristi.

The Landmark Commission promotes historical and cultural landmarks for the culture, prosperity, education, and general welfare of the citizens of Corpus Christi and visitors to the City.
