Together with the historical organizations we will have a much better history story for Pueblo. Sometimes citizens of Pueblo need to be informed or have the opportunity to be informed of the significance and the value of the area's heritage and culture. We in Pueblo live close to these historic treasures and may dismiss them as having significance. People from other cities treasure some of our heritage more than we do. Lets not sell short the educational value to our young people, the knowledge for our citizens, and the refreshing of memories of our senior citizens.
Pueblo is a nice community because of the many diverse elements of society living in harmony.
May 13th through 21st is the celebration of Colorado Archaeology and Historic Preservation Week. The Historic Preservation Task Force of the 2010 Commission has developed a proposed historic preservation ordinance. This would be a good time for the City Council to enact into law this ordinance. Historic Preservation Ordinances are not new in this country. They date back to 1931, and to date there are over 2000 local Historic Preservation Commissions.
