Heritage District

A Heritage District is an area recognized for its historical, cultural, or architectural significance. These districts aim to preserve unique buildings, landmarks, and landscapes that reflect a community's history and identity. Typically, local governments establish regulations to maintain the character and integrity of these areas, promoting tourism and community pride. Heritage districts may include old town centers, significant monuments, or neighborhoods with distinct architectural styles. By protecting these sites, communities can celebrate their heritage while also fostering economic development and educational opportunities related to local history.
