2023 Preservation Awards to be presented for Commercial
and Residential improvements in Historic Districts.
The Excelsior Springs Historic Preservation Commission is accepting nominations for their Historic Preservation Awards Program. Awards will be given for two categories, Commercial and Residential. Property owners who have made significant improvements to historic properties may be nominated by anyone in the community.
Award winner in 2022 was Casa Di Vite. The commercial property, vacant for many years, is now an event center with wine tasting activities.
Gary and Kim Sanson were awarded the Preservation Award for a Residential Property for restoration of a home on East Broadway that was slated for demolition. The house is now a single family residence.
