WHEREAS, Historic Preservation is an effective tool for managing growth and sustainable development, revitalizing neighborhoods, fostering local pride, and maintaining community character while enhancing livability; and WHEREAS Historic Preservation encourages and promotes community reinvestment, saving resources and socially, culturally, and economically rich communities; and WHEREAS, Historic Preservation is relevant for communities across the nation, both urban and rural, and for Americans of all ages, all walks of life, and all ethnic backgrounds in telling our individual, city, state, and national story; and WHEREAS, it is important and valuable to celebrate the role of history in our lives and the contributions made by dedicated individuals in helping to preserve the tangible aspects of the heritage that has shaped us as a people; and WHEREAS, "Harnessing the Power of Place” is the theme for National Preservation Month 2025, and serves to shine a spotlight on the power of place and the countless ways, big and small, that preservation strengthens communities. The work Historical and Landmarks Commissioners and Advisors do strengthen communities, breathes new life into neighborhoods, supports a healthier planet, and builds a more just and connected society. This month serves as a reminder of the value of our historic sites and the efforts needed to protect them for future generations.
