Deteriorating historical sites in St. Augustine will get some much-needed relief while providing students with a hands-on
learning experience when management of the properties is handed over to the University of Florida.
"It's an incredible opportunity for the whole university," said Roy Eugene Graham, director of Historic Preservation
Programs at UF. "I can't tell you how excited we all are."
UF will take over management of the sites July 1, when new legislation takes effect that will benefit both the city of St.
Augustine and UF, said Rep. William Proctor, R-St. Augustine, the main sponsor of the legislation.
