Looking at designation and design review in Washington's historic districts, Boasberg will present an illustrated success story, particularly around the contentious issues of compatibility and economic growth.
Boasberg is the past president and a founder of the Cleveland Park Historical Society, which successfully preserved and rezoned the third largest local and national historic district in the city, and is also a former chair of the Committee of 100 on the Federal City, a past trustee of the National Building Museum, and a past president of the Alliance to Preserve the Civil War Defenses of Washington. As counsel to the Brandy Station Foundation in Culpeper County, Virginia, he led the nine-year legal fight which preserved over 1,500 pristine acres of the largest cavalry battle of the Civil War, and was also attorney for the conservation groups in the Virginia Piedmont that stopped the proposed Disney theme park at Manassas.
