Legacy is the state's comprehensive historic preservation plan.
It has helped citizens, governmental officials, and public agencies set program priorities. The following survey is intended to inform you of our program and to solicit your participation in the plan update. The mission of the HPO is to identify, protect, and enhance the historic resources of North Carolina through a coordinated statewide program that provides information and assistance to public agencies, private organizations, and citizens to enable them to undertake successful historic preservation planning and project implementation. Communities across the state are facing unprecedented building booms, and, as a result, many archaeological and historic resources are disappearing forever. The planning process is an important tool in identifying the major issues that affect preservation efforts around North Carolina.
