Washington STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN: 2014-2019

 “Getting the Future Right”

 The Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) is updating the Washington State Historic Preservation Plan to proactively address archaeological, historic, and cultural resource issues and opportunities in Washington State over the next five years.

  We need your input to ensure State Historic Preservation Plan is responsive to historic preservation needs and issues facing property owners, communities, agencies and organizations across Washington.

 We welcome your participation in shaping the Plan by sharing your ideas about future historic preservation work in the state. Opportunities to participate include completing an on-line survey and attending one of the Community Conversations. Please share these opportunities broadly with your affiliates, constituents, colleagues, friends, and others.

Community Survey

 A Community Survey is available on the web at www.surveymonkey.com/s/DAHPStatewidePlan

The survey will open on April 8, 2012 and will close on May 31st, 2013.

Community Conversations

 DAHP and its partners are hosting seven community conversations throughout Washington State. The Community Conversations will explore current issues and opportunities facing historic and cultural resources in Washington. The Community Conversations noted with an asterisk will include an optional community tour starting at 5:30 pm, with discussion starting at 7 pm. Dress for the weather and bring a camera for this informal walk around the neighborhood to look at preservation opportunities.
