More about the Historic and Cultural Resources Plan Update

The Historic and Cultural Resources Plan is the primary guide for historic resources in the County. The purpose of this plan is to establish proactive priorities, goals, and objectives for County historic preservation activities that involve the historic built environment and County history in general. The Historic and Cultural Resources Plan serves as a guide to communicate the County’s Historic Preservation policies to citizens, businesses, developers, and others.

Implementation

The Implementation Framework (found in Appendix 2) completes the Plan by describing how the County will accomplish the efforts implied in its strategies, setting out an approach to implementation focused on the actions of County staff and elected and appointed officials.
