Final Points to Remember
•
Submit photographs of all historic
structures.
•
All photographs should be keyed to a
site plan or map to show their location
and direction of view.
•
The presence of historic structures in
the project area does not automatically
mean that the project cannot be
funded.
Department of Natural Resources
Historic Preservation Division
17
Final Points to Remember
•
Include all necessary documentation in
the application to facilitate a timely
review.
•
For complex projects or projects that
may have adverse effects to historic
structures and/or archaeological sites,
hire a qualified historic preservation
professional. See www.gashpo.org for a
list of qualified consultants.
