Rick Busch Receives Community Service Award for Historic Preservation

At its annual membership meeting on October 13, 1999, the Logan Circle Community Association (LCCA) awarded DCPL volunteer Rick Busch its 1999 Community Service Award for Historic Preservation. Robert Young, Chair of LCCAâs Historic Preservation Committee, highlighted Buschâs work with the Coalition for Greater Preservation Enforcement. The Coalition, a group of 21 neighborhood and citywide organizations formed by the League about 2 years ago, is dedicated to improving enforcement of the cityâs preservation law. Over the last 2 years, Busch helped organize a citywide conference focused on preservation enforcement and conducted follow-up activities and meetings between coalition members and city officials. Busch noted that the award really belongs to many individuals and groups, all of whom have made important contributions to strengthening the role of historic preservation in the District of Columbia.
