Building a Safer Future: The Fascinating Journey of Building Permits Through History https://lnkd.in/gg_yYrMi

Indigenous Knowledge Exemption Proposal: Last month, I visited Hawaii to speak with Native Hawaiian leaders and visit sites (on Oahu and Maui) of cultural and religious significance to Native Hawaiians. Those conversations demonstrated the potential - actually, the need - for the ACHP to expeditiously implement our recently-adopted Policy Statement on Indigenous Knowledge and Historic Preservation by addressing challenges sometimes experienced during the ACHP's regulatory process (known as "Section 106"). After consultation with ACHP members and Hawaiian leaders, I have proposed an Exemption to Section 106 for Indigenous Knowledge-Informed Activities by Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs). ACHP has only issued an Exemption four times in its history - and this one charts new ground by exempting cultural preservation activities, as opposed to objects/methods (like electric vehicle charging stations, also recently exempted). That's why we need your feedback on the draft linked below. Though I've heard some say that they've been waiting decades (!!) for the federal government to do something like this, I feel strongly that time is of the essence. Thanks to the ACHP's Reno Franklin Reid Nelson Ira Matt & Bill Dancingfeather for significant efforts to move this forward. We look forward to your input.

PART 1: The Georgia Historic Preservation Division is ushering in two new historic context reports! Both historic context projects will address important updates and fill gaps in the current body of knowledge on several resource types commonly found in Georgia. The first report, Georgia Commercial Resources (expected September 2025), was birthed from HPD’s identification of a need to study the physical characteristics of commercial buildings. This historic context focuses specifically on commercial buildings with typology and comprehensive evaluation guidelines including registration requirements. The context will facilitate the identification, documentation, and preservation of commercial resources based on their physical development within the area of study. Ultimately, this will assist in nominating significant buildings to the National Register of Historic Places. Part 2 of this new development comes later today so stay tuned #historicpreservation #HistoricPreservationMonth
