Garden City, Kansas Historic Preservation Plan

Thomason & Associates Preservation Planners

From introduction: "Over the past three decades, cities and towns nationwide have experience a new vibrancy and economic growth through the preservation of their architectural and historic resources. Reviving a community's downtown and neighborhoods leads to an enhanced quality of life. Many cities have crafted comprehensive preservation plans to help guide policy makers and community leads through the complex issues involving historic preservation efforts. The Garden City Historic Preservation Plan builds on the city's renewed emphasis on downtown and neighborhood revitalization efforts. Over the past two decades, Garden City has initiated a number of programs to spur redevelopment downtown, improve the appearance of its neighborhoods, increase recreational and cultural opportunities and encourage investment. The intent of the Garden City Historic Preservation Plan is to outline additional goals and actions to preserve, maintain and enhance the city's historic commercial, residential and public resources. The plan also provides recommendations for increasing heritage tourism efforts as well as raising public awareness of the importance of historic preservation in the community." Funding was provided in part by a 2016 Historic Preservation Fund grant to Garden City, Kansas administered by the Kansas State Historical Society, Historic Preservation Office (project number KS-16-009, grant number P16AF00173) and the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
