Preservation Planning

In 1995 a legislative task force issued a report, Preserving the Historic and Cultural Foundations. Since then, the report has guided a number of state, federal, and local organizations by identifying issues and recommendations for historic preservation in Nebraska. A "Report Card" on the Nebraska Task Force on Historic Preservation (260k pdf) looks at some of the preservation accomplishments from 1995-2005. Also available for download, The State Historic Preservation Plan for Nebraska, 2007-2011 (159k pdf), Building on the Historic and Cultural Foundations of Nebraska.

The findings of these documents will be used to identify further issues and recommendations for historic preservation in the next decade and will be incorporated into Nebraska's Statewide Preservation Plan. Comments are welcomed. Please contact Bob Puschendorf of the Nebraska State Historical Society for information.
