The Legislative Assembly hereby declares that it is in the best interest of the state to maintain, preserve and rehabilitate properties of Oregon historical significance. Historic preservation incentive programs provide a public benefit by encouraging preservation and appropriate rehabilitation of significant historic properties. These historically significant portions of the built environment contain the visual and intellectual record of our irreplaceable cultural heritage. They link us with our past traditions and values, establish standards and perspectives for measuring our present achievements and set goals for future accomplishments. To the extent that Oregon’s historic preservation incentive programs encourage the preservation and appropriate rehabilitation of significant historical property, the programs create a positive partnership between the public good and private property that promotes economic development; tourism; energy and resource conservation; sustainability; neighborhood, downtown and rural revitalization; efficient use of public infrastructure; and civic pride in our shared historical and cultural foundations.

(1) The Legislative Assembly declares that the cultural heritage of Oregon is one of the state’s most valuable and important assets, that the public has an interest in the preservation and management of all antiquities, historic and prehistoric ruins, sites, structures, objects, districts, buildings and similar places and things for their scientific and historic information and cultural and economic value, and that the neglect, desecration and destruction of cultural sites, structures, places and objects result in an irreplaceable loss to the public.
(2) The Legislative Assembly finds that the preservation and rehabilitation of historic resources are of prime importance as a prime attraction for all visitors, that they help attract new industry by being an influence in business relocation decisions and that rehabilitation projects are labor intensive, with subsequent benefits of payroll and of energy savings, and are important to the revitalization of deteriorating neighborhoods and downtowns.
