Objectives and goals

The Blair Historic Preservation Alliance is an advocate for the protection and appreciation of the city’s historic assets.

As an ADVOCATE, the Alliance seeks to promote public support for the preservation of the city’s historic assets by providing networking and informational assistance to owners of historic properties and local heritage preservation programs. It does this by aligning with other community enhancement groups to pool resources and consolidate efforts toward a common and mutual goal. The Alliance also encourages local government agencies and elected officials to adopt historically sensitive policies, practices and legislation which strengthens historic preservation.

The Alliance seeks to encourage, coordinate, and carry out efforts to IDENTIFY, inventory and evaluate the city’s historical assets through research and documenting information that will aid in the planning, evaluation, and review of preservation activities.

In alliance with other community groups, the Alliance develops and conducts EDUCATIONAL programs that promote an appreciation of cultural heritage and the preservation of that heritage.
