Preservation Month Webinars 4: Preservation Planning
Our fourth webinar in our Preservation Month Series focuses on Preservation Planning.
May 23, 2018, 1pm – Preservation Planning
A preservation commission is most effective when its work is a part of the larger local planning process. Good planning can also strengthen grant applications and bring in money to the community. Using successful plans from around the country, this webinar will cover the essential elements of preservation planning and how to integrate preservation as part of a broader planning effort—not just an addition to it. The webinar will involve an overview of Certified Local Government benefits and responsibilities for preservation planning. Working with various types of plans and data requirements, participants will learn innovative techniques to involve the community and stakeholders; explore successful implementation techniques to assign responsibilities; and to track performance measures.
Participants will:
1) Clarify programmatic agreement requirements for Certified Local Governments and relationship to National Park Service mandates
2) Discern which types of plans are appropriate to address desired goals and outcomes, as well as common pitfalls to avoid
3) Define data requirements for planning efforts and identify opportunities for data sharing
4) Discover innovative techniques to involve the community and stakeholders
5) Explore successful implementation techniques to assign responsibilities and track performance
