PRESERVATION PLANNING TOOLS Our quick-start guide is Getting Started With Your Old Building, a primer for beginning a preservation project. Whether you are new to preservation or a seasoned veteran, we hope the following questions and resources will help you better understand your project and work effectively to restore it for years of future use. Click here for the guide. Our published handbook, Preserving Community Character: Preservation Planning Handbook for New Hampshire offers more detail on the many and varied preservation and planning tools and techniques available to municipalities. While often spearheaded by the local heritage or historic district commission, these strategies can be evaluated and implemented by citizen petition or other arms of local government. These tools offer an array of opportunities to protect and preserve the cultural, historical, or even natural resources of the community. Each has a different purpose and effect on the preservation of a community's character. Some can be implemented independently, while others are designed to be used in tandem. In any event, for these strategies and methods to be effective, they require support and commitment from within the community. (Note: This material is exerpted from the published handbook, which is available in our bookstore.)
