2020 HERITAGE AWARDS HONOREES
In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught. (Baba Dioum, 1968)
The Cape May Point Taxpayers’ Association (CMPTA) is pleased to announce the Honorees of the Inaugural Cape May Point Heritage Awards. The Cape May Point Heritage Awards celebrate and bring awareness to those active in preserving, adapting and advancing the physical environment of Cape May Point for present and future generations to enjoy. Moreover, they are designed to teach us how preservation is undertaken and sustained.
SELECTION PROCESS
The CMPTA Board of Directors reviewed the Nomination submissions, most of which included narratives and photographs.
Each submission in the Founders Circle and Stewards Circle was evaluated to determine how well and completely it described the challenges faced in each project and the actions taken to address those challenges. By sharing information about each project, the Honorees help all Pointers better understand the level of effort required and convey valuable insight into preservation techniques, construction materials and design choices. The Honoree announcements linked below were created from the Nomination documents and edited. Each Honoree received a plaque and certificate.
RESPECT AND GRATITUDE
Every owner and building nominated for the Founders Circle or Stewards Circle is worthy of our deep respect and admiration for their contributions. Those Nominees not selected for Awards this year are encouraged to expand on the information provided and re-nominate their projects again in a future year.
