SHPO SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT FOR FY 2011 PROGRAM
Public Meeting, Oklahoma History Center
September 10, 2010
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) will hold a public meeting at 10:30 am, Friday, September 10, 2010, in the Oklahoma History Center Classroom, to provide information about the statewide preservation program and to receive public input for development of the Fiscal Year 2011 Historic Preservation Fund application. The SHPO expects to receive approximately $800,000 from the U.S. Department of the Interior's FY 2010 Historic Preservation Fund to carry out its programs and operations. Ten percent of the award is reserved for pass-through grants to Certified Local Governments (CLGs).
Under the National Historic Preservation Act, the SHPO has responsibility for administration of the federal historic preservation program in Oklahoma. In brief, the purpose of the program is to encourage preservation of the state's archeological and historic resources for everyone's benefit. Specific activities directed toward this goal include identification of properties important in history, architecture, culture, and archeology; evaluation and registration of significant properties; formal review of federal and federally assisted projects that could affect archeological and historic resources; development and implementation of the statewide historic preservation plan; administration of the CLG program; administration of the federal and state investment tax credits program for certified historic structures; and public outreach activities.
Tomorrow's Legacy: Oklahoma's Statewide Preservation Plan (2010) [available from the SHPO or at www.okhistory.org/shpo/stateplan.htm] sets forth the goals and objectives for historic preservation efforts in the state, including the SHPO's programs listed above. The SHPO's priorities for addressing the State Plan's goals are continuation of the archeological and historic/architectural resources survey program to document property types under-represented in the state's inventory and to extend survey coverage to previously unstudied areas, preparation of nominations for the National Register of Historic Places, and provision of public outreach and technical assistance programs. Your comments will help the SHPO determine its specific projects and activities for FY 2011 to address these priorities.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, your written comments and suggestions are welcome. You may complete the SHPO's " Project Suggestion Form" and return it by 5:00 pm, Friday, September 10, 2010. You may call the SHPO at
