Wisconsin Historic Preservation Plan, 2006-2015

Executive summary: "This plan sets goals and objectives for historic preservation in Wisconsin from 2006 through 2015. It was developed through the participation of many individuals across the state through questionnaires, stakeholder meetings, telephone interviews, focus groups, and planning retreats. People indicated that Wisconsin needed expanded networks, additional education, increased promotion of preservation, and more financial stability. The State Historic Preservation Office at the Wisconsin Historical Society will continue its core work of compliance review, survey and registration, tax credits, and working with certified local governments. Over the coming decade, it will place emphasis on partnerships, training, programs of public awareness, and efforts to develop financial resources. Mission: We connect people to the past by helping preserve places of enduring value. Vision: The people of Wisconsin embrace the value of historic preservation. Goals: 1. Wisconsin must build a strong network of parties interested in historic preservation. 2. Wisconsin must have a strong educational structure for historic preservation. 3. Preservation must become a core value for Wisconsinites. 4. Wisconsin needs financial stability for preservation activities, ranging from the State Historic Preservation Office to property owners. 5. Citizens and local governments need tools to preserve the state's most threatened cultural resources." Funding was provided in part by a 2005 Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office (project number WI-05-009, grant number 55-05-20453) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
