Arizona Historic Preservation Plan 1996

Laurent, Steven; Garrison, Jim; Thornburg, Tanna

From the Executive Summary: "The Arizona Historic Preservation Plan is the result of more than a year's effort by the State Historic Preservation Office, a section of the Arizona State Parks, in conjunction with Arizona's preservation professionals, advocates, and concerned citizens. It will guide the actions of the SHPO and its partners to the end of the century. This is the first comprehensive preservation plan ever completed for Arizona. It builds upon previous SHPO context-based planning and the 1992 Arizona Heritage Fund Historic Preservation Five-Year Plan. Although it will largely be implemented by the SHPO, the Plan represents a marked shift away from focusing on the SHPO's strategic responsibilities as the state's leading preservation entity, toward strengthening its role as clearinghouse and enabler within the larger preservation network. In creating the Plan, the SHPO recognizes that heritage preservation cannot be successful on a statewide basis unless strong partnerships are built between governmental agencies, advocacy organizations, and citizens. ...As a guiding document, the Arizona Historic Preservation Plan fulfills two purposes: it explains some of the significant entities involved in the preservation process; and more importantly, it sets a specific action agenda for working toward the vision and goals outlined above. Although the Plan is scheduled to be revised at the end of a three-year cycle, the action component will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis by the State Historic Preservation Office in conjunction with its preservation partners. This format should help ensure the Plan remains flexible, current, and continually improved upon." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office, Arizona State Parks, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
