Question 3: Answer
Historic preservation means the rehabilitation and
redevelopment of important community landscapes. The
list of successful downtown revitalization projects
directly related to historic preservation is extensive
and well documented. It involves community partnerships
that lead to the rehabilitation and adaptive use of
historic buildings that are useful, profitable, and full
of character. Revitalization translates to community
pride, jobs and further reinvestment. Cost savings
accrue as existing infrastructure is retained. In
addition, a community historic preservation program of
activities provides a wide range of economic
opportunities related to heritage tourism. |
