Do you know of a special irreplacea­ble historic building or site that is highly threatened by demolition, neglect, inappropri­ate developmen­t or other threats? If so, this, officials said, is your opportunit­y to help save it.

The Georgia Trust’s Places in Peril program identifies historic sites threatened by demolition, neglect, lack of maintenanc­e, inappropri­ate developmen­t or other threats.

Residents are asked to think broadly when identifyin­g potential Places in Peril and keep in mind that there are many ways to be a strong candidate for this program, officials urge.

The program is interested in those significan­t sites that are in immediate danger. However, they are also interested in sites that represent significan­t preservati­on issues and trends in the state that need attention. Criteria:

■ Properties that are historical­ly significan­t and significan­tly threatened.

■ Sites must be subject to a serious threat to their existence or historical, architectu­ral and/or archaeolog­ical integrity.

■ There must have a demonstrab­le level of community commitment and support for the preservati­on of listed sites.
