Jessica Wobig served three transformative years with AmeriCorps in the Ohio History Service Corps at the City of Cleveland Landmarks Commission (2010–2013). As a community surveyor, she led historic eligibility surveys and acted as a key liaison between state and local preservation agencies, developers, and the public. She also supervised a team of more than 20 volunteers, who contributed over 15,000 service hours—equivalent to more than $500,000 in wage value. 

Her service resulted in the documentation of over 500 historic buildings, the designation of two new local landmark historic districts, and the awarding of more than $4.5 million in historic rehabilitation tax credits for three major projects in Cleveland. This foundational experience launched a career devoted to advancing inclusive, sustainable, and equitable preservation practices.

Today, Jessica continues to shape the future of historic places through education, advocacy, and service leadership. She holds an M.A. in Historic Preservation and serves as a Senior Architectural Historian with HDR, a Planning Commissioner for the City of Cleveland Heights, and a Member of the Greater Northeast Historic Design Review Advisory Committee for the Cleveland Landmarks Commission.
