From introduction: "The Division for Historic Preservation (DHP), which includes the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), prepares a statewide preservation plan every five years that provides direction for the entire state. Through this planning process, New York engages the public in assessing the state’s preservation progress, needs and opportunities. It also offers a vehicle for furthering the integration of its historic and cultural resources into local planning and community development, while instilling civic pride in New York’s past. The plan guides preservation efforts at the local, regional and state levels. It serves as a blueprint for identifying and preserving New York’s historic and cultural resources and can be periodically updated to address current needs, issues and opportunities. The plan details resources that have the potential to support preservation and community development efforts. It highlights successful preservation activities accomplished over the past five years that demonstrate best practices and educate the public about the benefits of preservation. This plan aims to further preservation activities by engaging existing colleagues as well as new audiences and outlines a broad set of goals and objectives combined with specific strategies that can be tailored to a wide range of people, places and circumstances; these include: Expand preservation efforts across the state by: Strengthening the practice of preservation; Enhancing collaboration to advance preservation; Training New Yorkers in preservation trades, skills and crafts; Showcasing preservation contributions Promote preservation at the local and regional level by: Integrating preservation into local and regional decision making; Building support for preservation among local officials and developers Cultivate pride of place by: Expanding and diversifying participation in preservation; Engaging New Yorkers in historic sites and museums; Capitalizing on heritage tourism opportunities."
