This week on the podcast, TC Media sits down with Benjamin Briggs, CEO of Preservation NC, for an insightful conversation about historic preservation across North Carolina. We begin by getting to know Benjamin personally, discussing his background, where he's from, and the journey that led him to lead one of the state’s most impactful organizations dedicated to preserving our architectural heritage.

As we transition into his work, Benjamin shares the mission of Preservation NC and the critical role it plays in safeguarding the historic places that define our communities. He provides a deep dive into the organization’s statewide efforts, highlighting a few success stories of historic preservation done right—along with lessons learned from projects that didn’t go as planned.

We also discuss the upcoming Preservation NC conference in Rocky Mount, an event you won’t want to miss.
