STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN 2011-2015

As the Massachusetts Historical Commission begins work on the 2011-2015
State Historic Preservation Plan, it is important to take a look back at
the past five years and consider the accomplishments of the historic
preservation community.  As there are many local, regional and statewide
organizations that make up the historic preservation community here in
Massachusetts, we'd like to include accomplishments from a variety of
organizations in this next state plan.  Please let us know what you'd
like to see included. Later, we'll focus on existing challenges and then
goals for the coming years but right now we are compiling all the
accomplishments and we'd like to hear your ideas. If you have
recommendations, please contact Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us
<mailto:Christopher.Skelly at state.ma.us> .
