What are Statewide and Local Preservation Organizations?

Nonprofit statewide and local preservation groups serve as the network centers and representatives of preservation activities within their states.  They work with SHPOs, assist local groups, intervene in preservation issues, advocate state membership and educational programs, issue publications, engage in real estate and revolving fund programs, and serve as a preservation clearinghouse.  The name, address, and phone number of your state’s statewide preservation organization is available on our contacts page.
