City of Nome Historic Preservation Plan: Phase 1 - Public Outreach

Pellegrino Faix, Monica

From Introduction: "Nome has a rich history, and in 2018 the State Historic Preservation Office designated Nome as a Certified Local Government. This established the formation of the Nome Historic Preservation Commission, which was placed within the Nome Planning Commission. The first role of this new commission is to develop a Historic Preservation Plan for Nome. The Historic Preservation Plan development was divided into two phases. Phase 1, the subject of this report, conducted public outreach to gather information from Nome residents. Phase II will start later in 2019, and will create and complete the Historic Preservation Plan report, and incorporate information gathered during the public outreach. The Historic Preservation Plan development is following the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Preservation Planning. The goals are to: identify and inventory the location and condition of historic and cultural sites and resources within and nearby the City of Nome; develop 'historic & cultural contexts', to organize and group historic & cultural sites and resources by culture, location, event, and/or time; identify and rank historic and cultural preservation goals; coordinate with other state and local planning efforts; and identify ways to resolve conflicts about historic & cultural preservation issues." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Office of History and Archaeology, Alaska Department of Natural Resources, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P18AF00008).
