Historic Preservation Plan

Education

Education programs build awareness and strengthen skills that support
preservation efforts in the community. Helping property owners learn
how to maintain their historic structures as active, viable assets is key
to a successful preservation program. Many property owners willingly
follow appropriate rehabilitation procedures and develop compatible
designs when they are well informed about preservation objectives.

Workshops that provide helpful information about rehabilitation
techniques and publications that build an understanding of historic
significance are examples of education and outreach strategies. Well-
written design guidelines that provide useful information can also
serve an educational role.

Education and outreach efforts help ensure that the importance
of historic preservation is well understood within the community.
Additionally, they may help property owners better understand the
range of flexibility that is available in the adaptive reuse of historic
structures.

In addition, providing education and training opportunities for staff
and the HRC is integral to a strong preservation program.
