The Workin’ Bridges Land Conservancy. Preservation via Ownership = economic development and lovely local parks.
Over the last few years we figured out that to preserve some very special historic truss bridges, our corporation can buy a bridge at risk of demolition and open it using established land-conservancy policies and insurance strategies. We have saved two very significant trusses and hope to preserve more. The goal is one in every state.
