Old Southwest Inc. received the 1993 Governor's Environmental Excellence Award for historic preservation.
The award is designed to recognize outstanding stewardship activities that have contributed to preserving Virginia's natural and historic resources.
Old Southwest Inc. started in 1974 with restoration of one of Roanoke's oldest neighborhoods. The restoration led to a 20-year plan to revitalize the entire area.
