From introduction: "This Historic Preservation Master Plan reflects a vision of Asheville and Buncombe County as a place that celebrates and cares for its history and both natural and built landscapes. In this vision, historic places are widely viewed as settings and sources of inspiration that foster a community-oriented, high quality of life. Historic preservation is valued as a sound practice, and as part of the region’s success. It helps to sustain neighborhoods, commercial areas, and the countryside. It also supports community and economic development, including affordable housing, tourism, and artistic and cultural enterprises, and community sustainability as a whole. The vision of success for historic preservation includes: Broad public outreach: Articulate historic preservation’s value to community-building, sustainability, economic development, tourism, and the arts. Sharing history: Through interpretive presentation and education, insure broad understanding and appreciation of the region’s history. Best practices: Focus on best practices across the wide array of programs that support historic preservation, from the HRC’s technical preservation responsibilities to community planning, communications, the arts, tourism, and interpretive presentation." Funding was provided in part by a 2013 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Asheville (project number NC-13-010) administered by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P13AF00046) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
