As a long-time supporter—Past President, Past Vice President, Past Treasurer and Past Secretary—of the Preservation Resource Center (PRC), partner Randy Opotowsky keeps Steeg Law’s commercial and residential real estate clients apprised of the many educational programs that the organization offers. A Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits class, one-on-one sessions on building research basics, and the 49th Annual Holiday Home Tour in the Garden District are among the upcoming PRC programs.
As Randy notes, “PRC’s incredible staff works tirelessly to provide high quality programing that furthers PRC’s mission to preserve New Orleans’ historic architecture, neighborhoods and cultural identity through collaboration, empowerment and service to our community.”
