Introduction: "The purpose of this Statewide Historic Preservation Plan is to guide effective decision making on a general level; to coordinate preservation activities; and to communicate preservation policy, goals, and values to the preservation constituency, decision-makers, and interested and affected parties throughout Maine. It provides general direction and guidance, rather than serving as a detailed blueprint for making place-specific or resource-specific decisions. The Maine Historic Preservation Commission, which is the State Historic Preservation Office in Maine, is responsibile for developing and updating the plan. However, the plan does not serve as an internal office work plan. This plan reflects the diverse perspectives offered by affiliated programs and the general public and is a plan for everyone. Review and updating of the Statewide Historic Preservation Plan occurs at five-years intervals. The plan opens with an explanation of how information was collected for this update, followed by a description of what is currently known about Maine's cultural resources. The Values and Vision section summarizes what Mainers value about these resources and how they aspire to care for them moving forward. The Opportunities and Constraints section assesses nine trends that are currently impacting historic preservation in Maine. The Goals, Objectives and Actions section provides a framework for addressing those trends. The document concludes with an explanation of how the plan's vision will be implemented, shared, and refreshed in the coming years." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
