POSTPONED (August 3, 2020 update) BECAUSE OF SCHEDULING CONFLICTS. Email jg@nhpreservation.org if you want to be on the invite list for the new dates.

The N.H. Division of Historical Resources is asking you for its input for the state’s 2021-2025 statewide historic preservation plan. All invited to provide input on preservation needs and opportunities.

To register, send an email to Jennifer Goodman at jg@nhpreservation.org with “August 4” in the subject line. First-come, first-served. Participants will be sent sign-in information for video or phone access, and will be asked to consent to be recorded. The Preservation Alliance plans to post the sessions afterwards for members and friends. 

Facilitated by the NHDHR and driven by information provided by the public, each five-year statewide preservation plan creates a vision for the immediate future of historic preservation in New Hampshire.

By asking the public for its insights, the plan’s development gives the NHDHR the opportunity to gather a wide range of perspectives about New Hampshire’s preservation successes, challenges and opportunities.

When complete, the preservation plan will include assessment of current preservation programs, issues, challenges and opportunities; evaluate accomplishments outlined in the previous five-year plan; provide a state-wide vision for historic preservation-related activities and outline ways to successfully implement ideas described in the plan itself, at both state and local levels.

Information will also be gathered via a short questionnaire that is available on the NHDHR’s website, nh.gov/nhdhr. The survey is anonymous and takes about 10 minutes to complete.

A final version of New Hampshire’s 2021-2025 Preservation Plan is scheduled to be available January 2021.
