Executive Summary: "In the spring 2016, efforts began to revise and update Missouri's current statewide preservation plan, 'Preservation Horizons: 2011-2017.' This planning process revealed that Missouri's preservation community has had great success in recent years. There is a growing preservation ethic as communities embrace preservation as a means of supporting economic development, retaining community identity, and improving quality of life. At the same time, the preservation challenges identified in previous plans remain relevant today. To address these challenges, the 2018-2024 plan focuses on six preservation goals similar to those identified in the previous plan: Goal 1) Understand the value of historic preservation; Goal 2) Strengthen and enhance historic preservation as an economic development tool; Goal 3) Continue the identification, evaluation, and protection of Missouri's cultural resources; Goal 4) Enhance cooperation and partnerships among government entities, institutions, and the private sector; Goal 5) Integrate historic preservation strategies into planning and routine procedures at all levels of Missouri government: local, regional, and state; and Goal 6) Improve the delivery of historic preservation services to include innovative technologies and an expanded information network. The broad goals established in the planning process are joined in this document with a series of objectives and actions that can be taken by individuals, local preservation groups, and government agencies to preserve and increase appreciation for our state's historic properties. The plan recognizes that these groups share a vision, but each play a different role in preserving the history and historic places of our state and communities. No one person, group, or agency can do it all, but we can each do our part to overcome challenges and move toward our vision of a '...state that progresses and prospers while preserving and respecting its unique heritage.'" Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office, Department of Natural Resources, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
