Non-Profit Wants To Preserve Historic Jefferson City Homes

A non-profit group is hoping to save historic homes in Missouri's capital city that were damaged in a tornado last month.

The Jefferson City News Tribune reports that the Historic City of Jefferson is rounding up investors who are interested in salvaging historic homes that were damaged when an EF-3 tornado swept through the city on May 22.

Owners can sell their homes if they're eligible. A city official says properties deemed dangerous structure will not be considered for purchase.
