PRC HISTORY
The Preservation Resource Center was founded in 1974 to promote the preservation of New Orleans' historic architecture by expanding the constituency that understands the economic, cultural and aesthetic importance of historic preservation, and by involving citizens in preservation projects and services that enhance living in New Orleans.
Since 1974, the organization has grown from a staff of two having an annual budget of $100,000 to a staff of 45 full- and part-time professionals having an annual budget of $6 million. Operation Comeback's rehab projects add an additional $500,000 to the budget annually.
