Executive Summary: "This document presents an overview of the purposes and objectives of the District of Columbia's historic preservation program. It presents and explains the range of programs and services available to residents and property owners seeking to learn about opportunities to recognize and preserve significant historic buildings, structures, and laces within their communities, or to protect the historic character of entire neighborhoods. The historic preservation program in the District of Columbia is deliberately structured to involve the public in all its aspects, and to maximize participation by individuals and organizations. All programs and services are operated so as to be responsive to clients and other users. The Historic Preservation Division, however, recognizes a continual need to encourage participation and to educate and inform the general public about the services that are available. In furtherance of these goals and objectives, the Division consistently advances three major long-term priorities: I) Complete the cultural resources survey of the city; II) Expand historic preservation programs to serve new users; and III) Ensure effective protection of historic properties. The Historic Preservation Plan is divided into three major elements. Policies, goals and objectives which apply citywide are presented first, followed by similar individual discussions of historic preservation planning initiatives and needs in each of the eight wards of the District of Columbia. The sections which follow discuss specific services and programs that are available through the Historic Preservation Division in order to meet the state goals and objectives. The Plan has been developed in a manner that is consistent with the District of Columbia's comprehensive planning process, and is subject to public comment and periodic revision." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office, Office of Planning, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
