About

Preservation planning involves a process of identifying historic properties, evaluating their significance, analyzing their character-defining features, and devising a plan for their stewardship. Studies may entail surveys focused on buildings, landscapes, or any combination thereof as a precursor to a National Register Nomination, historic structure reports, design guidelines, or master plans, among others, that can take the form of multi-phased reports or substantive guidelines focusing on long-term maintenance strategies. Although many preservation planning studies are initiated by owners and advocates of historic properties, others can be required by regulatory authorities as part of a permitting process. Gregory Dietrich Preservation brings a wealth of experience and expertise to preservation planning studies as a principal investigator and project manager in order to produce a comprehensive and informative report that will serve the property's stewards over the long term and, in doing so, potentially respond to a specific regulatory requirement.
