The need for this CLR arose from the identification of proposed projects that could potentially alter the existing landscape and its associated cultural and historic resources. These projects are identified in the GRCA’s 1995 General Management Plan (GMP) and CLR scope of work. The overall vision for the South Rim, including the Village Historic District, is to “allow visitors direct access to canyon panoramas and to offer a range of visitor experiences-from more social experiences in Grand Canyon Village to solitary experiences elsewhere along the rim. To address these issues, the NPS has proposed several projects that will affect the Village Historic District. These projects include the Heritage Education Center, Greenway system, Light Rail transit system, and conversion of several facilities from government or concessionaire use to public use. In light of these proposed projects, the purposes of this CLR are to provide a landscape history for the entire project area; to document and evaluate the significance, integrity, and condition of existing cultural landscape characteristics, including the identification and description of contributing and non-contributing landscape characteristics, and to develop a preservation strategy for the long-term management of the cultural landscape. The information within this CLR will be used by the NPS in the development of appropriate proposed actions for the Village Historic District and to aid with determination of effects on the cultural landscape.
