Georgia's State Historic Preservation Plan 2022-2026: Preserving the Past in Times of Changes

From the Introduction: ..."While the 2017-2021 preservation plan focused on technology and innovation in preservation, the undeniable theme for this current plan is maintaining responsiveness to the mission of preservation through times of great change. As in previous years, the need to continue to innovate will be a constant goal in the work of preservation, and this goes along with the ability to adapt and stay flexible when facing change. Never before has the need for technology been so pronounced as when the COVID-19 pandemic erupted during 2020, forcing many to begin working from home, including the Georgia Historic Preservation Division (HPD) staff. As communities had to put their preservation projects on hold during the pandemic, HPD staff were able to maintain supportive connections with their constituents and work moved forward. Thanks to HPD's previous efforts in the realm of technology, much of the day-to-day work was able to continue. ...Georgia's State Historic Preservation Plan 2022-2026: Preserving the Past in Times of Change is the guiding document for the state historic preservation program administered by HPD. Our state plan covers the years 2022 through 2027. t follows the previous plan, Georgia's State Historic Preservation Plan 2017-2021: Integrating Innovation with Preservation, and builds on its firm foundations. ...Regardless of economic health and despite the challenges presented by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, HPD has accomplished much in the past five years, while continuing to build on past achievements and adapting to continuous changes in order to further preservation in the state. We have adjusted and planned for, studied and interpreted, and provided assistance in rehabilitating and using historic places throughout the state. From below ground resources through our archaeological program to above ground resources through our environmental review, survey, NRHP, grants, and tax incentives programs; from planning for the future through our preservation planning initiatives to aiding others in doing the same through our publications and outreach program, HPD will continue to adapt to meet current and future challenges to ensure the state's preservation health is maintained over the next five years." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund Grant to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Historic Preservation Division, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior
