HOW THE HERITAGE PRESERVATION
PLAN IS USED
Preservation Plano 150 is a policy document to guide preservation work over the next five years. These efforts are led
by the City and distributed amongst preservation partners throughout the community. Prior to this Plan update, the
City adopted five previous Preservation Plans, beginning in 1981, to guide preservation efforts. While some efforts are
ongoing and can be traced as the result of recommendations across multiple plans, other accomplishments can be
seen as a direct result of a single Preservation Plan. Accomplishments from previous plans include:
