AHPP SEEKS PUBLIC OPINION ON
HISTORIC PRESERVATION THROUGH ONLINE SURVEY
The
Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, an agency of the Department of Arkansas
Heritage, is seeking public opinion on future historic preservation issues
through an online survey at http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/annual-report/survey.aspx,
AHPP Director Frances McSwain announced today.
“The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program staff is preparing to update the
five-year statewide comprehensive preservation plan and we want to hear from
the people of Arkansas,” McSwain said. “It is vitally important that our
constituents’ opinions be fully and accurately reflected in the goals and
objectives that will guide program decisions.”
The survey will be available through September 15, after which the results will
be consolidated and added to information gathered at a series of listening
sessions that have been held around the state. The last sessions will be held
August 14 in Hot Springs and August 21 in West Memphis.
For more information, contact Patricia Blick at (501) 324-9665 or patriciab@arkansasheritage.org.

Annual Conference: Leveraging Assets through Collaboration (or moving from strategic planning to strategic doing)
If you have ever lamented over the need to remove silos and create connections across the community, this is the conference that will provide solutions. As community developers, we are very familiar with strategic planning but there is also a strategic approach to “doing.” Ed Morrison, a nationally recognized consultant and trainer from the Center for Regional Development at Purdue University will discuss a new approach for partners to work together.
