Public Policy
The National Trust for Historic Preservation and its partners advocate for public policies that benefit historic preservation by:
- Passing legislation and implementing policies that preserve the historic and cultural fabric of our nation's communities
- Protecting historic and cultural resources from inappropriate legislation, regulatory rulings, or court decisions that hinder preservation
- Preserving community input in the policy-making process
- Researching and documenting best practices and model preservation policies
The National Trust's policy agenda and initiatves cover a broad spectrum of legislative, regulatory, judicial and Federal Agency actions, including: sustainability, funding, land use, housing, tax credits, disaster assistance and economic development.
