From introduction: "The Preservation Plan is intended to provide the City and the Historic Commission with a strategic roadmap for implementing preservation related projects in Ashland. This Plan is based upon what the community has identified as important in the area of historic preservation and includes five general program areas where needs were identified. Specific projects and a ten year implementation plan to implement these projects has been provided to assist the Historic Commission and city staff in applying for funding, and deciding where to dedicate valuable City resources for historic preservation related projects. The consultant worked with the City staff first to evaluate existing conditions relating to historic preservation within the City of Ashland. Questionnaires were distributed to both City staff and members of the Historic Commission. Needs were then evaluated relating to historic preservation within the community. In order to understand these needs, we contacted owners of historic properties as well as contractors and developers, inviting them to participate in the online survey. A notice was also placed on the City of Ashland website and in the local newspaper, the Ashland Daily Tidings. Based upon input from these surveys and questionnaires, needs were identified in five different program areas. Recommendations for code changes and alternative projects to address these needs were presented to the Historic Commission for their input. After careful consideration and discussion, the Historic Commission identified their priorities for projects to accomplish in the next ten years within each program area, and an implementation plan was prepared." Funding was provided in part by a 2007 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Ashland (project number OR-07-02) administered by the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 41-07-21642) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Ashland, Oregon is a Certified Local Government.
