“This is an outstanding opportunity for future restoration trade professionals and owners of historic homes and those that care deeply about them,” said Brian Miller, executive vice president of the Building Industry Association of Northern Kentucky and president of the Covington Academy of Heritage Trades. “We are blessed to have several highly skilled professionals who have taken up our cause in passing on their knowledge of historic preservation, something we all care deeply about. Besides the unique opportunity to learn from these craftspeople is the ability to either use these passed on skills to improve your own historic treasure or potentially enjoy a lucrative lifelong career caring for and improving the state of our historic homes throughout our region.”
