Introduction: "The theme of this statewide historic preservation plan is Shared Stewardship. The idea behind it: bolster Connecticut's preservationists by enhancing partnerships and engaging new allies, including those who may not define themselves as preservationists but who nevertheless perpetuate a preservation ethic. Since 1955 the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has identified, protected, and invested in thousands of historic resources. Established 11 years before Congress passed the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the office reflected the emerging preservation movement in the United States. For more than 60 years it has helped preserve historic places across the state. The SHPO continues to build on this vital legacy by committing to strengthen Connecticut's network of preservationists - the people who make preservation happen. The SHPO is uniquely positioned to advanced the state's preservation network. As the administrator of such state and federal programs as the State and National Register of Historic Places, historic tax credits, and grants funded by the National Park Service and the state's Community Investment Act fund, the SHPO is the leader in cultural resource management and the primary resource for constituents on the topic of historic preservation. Over the next five years the SHPO will pursue this vision by working to enrich and expand partnerships, enhance public education on preservation, diversify audiences and resources, and develop a resiliency strategy for the state's historic resources." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office, Department of Economic and Community Development, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
