South Dakota State Historic Preservation Office Statewide Preservation Plan 2006-2010

Introduction: "This plan will serve as a guide for historic preservation and activities undertaken by a variety of users and constituents, not just the staff of the SDSHPO. It will provide direction for historic preservation in South Dakota over the five years, from January 2006 through December 2010. This Plan incorporates and builds upon the State of South Dakota's 2010 Initiative. The 2010 Initiative outlines a series of specific goals for economic growth and visitor spending in the state by the year 2010. Goal Four of the Initiative is to 'Brand and Develop South Dakota's Quality of Life as the Best in America by 2010'. One of the action steps within that goal is to 'Enhance History and Arts as a tool for economic development and cultural tourism'. Historic preservation is a perfect tool to achieve such a goal. The plan will distributed to other state agencies, federal agencies, units of local governments, planning and development districts, libraries, and preservation organizations throughout South Dakota with encouragement to utilize the plan in connection with preservation priorities and activities. Upon completion of final reviews and approval by the National Park Service, the plan will be published electronically via nationwide internet access." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the South Dakota State Historic Preservation Office, South Dakota Historical Society, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
