LONG-TERM ACTIONS
0-5 Years 5-10 Years 10+ Years

Long-Term Long-term Actions describe implementation
steps that are best suited to occur 10 or
more years after Plan adoption. Actions in
this category are typically of lower interest
and may require additional funding, staff
time, or research to accomplish. They may
also need to follow the completion of Near-
or Mid-Term Actions and, therefore, be
better suited for action many years down
the road. These Actions work towards one
or more of the three Plan Goals: Equitable
and Inclusive, Community-Centered, and
Strategically Integrated.

L1. Develop and host a range
of outreach programs
to increase community
awareness of the historic
preservation program, provide
technical assistance, and
enhance partnerships.
