Historic Preservation Planning

Historic Preservation Planning is the process of identifying, protecting, and managing sites and structures important for their historical, architectural, or cultural significance. It integrates this preservation with land use planning to ensure that development decisions respect and preserve these assets. This approach fosters community identity and heritage while allowing for growth and change. By balancing development needs with conservation efforts, historic preservation planning helps maintain the character of neighborhoods and towns, ensuring that valuable history is recognized and integrated into the future of land use.
