The State Plan is a concise, strategic document that describes the vision for historic preservation in California and outline future direction for the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The State Plan identifies the critical preservation issues, needs, challenges, and opportunities for historic preservation in California. The goals and objectives statements further clarify preservation priorities with recommendations on improving historic preservation needs for technical assistance, education, economic incentives, preservation partnership, and local government participation. The preservation of our cultural environment is the collective responsibility of all Californians. The implementation of the State Plan goals and objectives requires the dedication and personal commitment of many individuals and organizations interested in a society respectful of the state's fragile cultural environment. The shared vision for historic preservation includes the principles of working with current and new preservation partners, considering all cultural resources, and adopting sound, mutual preservation goals and objectives for the 21st century."
