Preservation


Cultural and natural connections are significant both for historical context and to maintain a high quality of life. Preserving working farmland, for example, strengthens the economy and provides an ongoing link to local history. At another remove, maintaining open space within developed or developing areas provides local recreational and educational opportunities while reducing impacts on the regional environment. Reuse of existing buildings, such as converting old warehouses to lofts, can reinvigorate urbanized areas while serving historic preservation goals.
