Help Preserve and Restore Borrego Springs

January 22nd, 2010

Readers of the this Blog, and visitors to this website no doubt know that we advocate preservation and restoration of Borrego Spring’s Mid-Century Modern Architecture. Not just homes, but the commercial core as well.

You have an opportunity to weigh-in, and take a stand that supports restoration and preservation of Borrego’s Mid-Century Modern Core.

The Borrego Village Association, formed initially as a committee of the Borrego Chamber of Commerce is currently conducting a survey to determine what the community and visitors to Borrego Springs would like to see in a new and revitalized commercial core.


What the survey does not address is restoration and preservation of the existing mid-century modern buildings. These buildings give the community of Borrego Springs its character and define it as San Diego’s Mid-Century Modern Desert Community.

 

We are writing to ask for your support in preservation of the mid-century modern architecture of Borrego Spring’s commercial core.

 

Please complete the survey (it will take only about 3 minutes) by following this link:

As part of your answer to Question 7, please add a comment that supports the preservation, renovation and maintenance of Borrego’s mid-century modern architecture. For example:

 

This is a good idea but maintaining the town’s current mid-century design should be the primary goal.  Borrego Springs is beautiful the way it is, it simply needs to be preserved, restored and maintained.  This approach will attract the traditional Borrego visitor but additionally people who appreciate its small town mid-century design.

 

We encourage you to express your own opinion, and hope you agree that Borrego Spring’s unique mid-century modern character is worth preserving.

    Probably not the place for this but I recently added a Borrego set to my Flickr site. I’ll be adding more over the next few weeks.
