Canyon County, Idaho Historic Preservation Plan

Preservation Solutions LLC; Idaho Archaeological Society

From introduction: "The Historic Preservation Plan (HPP) outlines the essential components for a viable preservation program as an integral part of Canyon County’s community planning. The HPP is a guiding document identifying community priorities for the preservation of cultural resources and sets forth related goals, policies, and action steps toward their implementation. The purpose of the HPP is to chart a course for historic preservation in Canyon County outside the cities of Caldwell and Nampa, both of which have their own Historic Preservation Commissions (HPC) and HPPs; this document intentionally emphasizes the areas outside these two cities. It will be used by the County and its preservation partners to guide and monitor preservation efforts in the community. Businesses, property owners, and members of the general public may also use the HPP to learn about the program and the status of preservation efforts. Preservation is a part of many community interests, including housing, sustainability, transportation, livability, and economic development; therefore, the HPP approaches historic preservation as an integral element of community development. It seeks to balance broader community objectives with its core mission of retaining cultural resources. It touches on many subjects that appear in other County planning documents while presenting additional program-specific actions related to the components of a complete preservation program." Funding was provided in part by a 2017 Historic Preservation Fund grant to Canyon County, Idaho (project number ID-17-022) administered by the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office grant number P17AF00026) and the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
