Best Practices is the third workshop in the Cultural Resources Essentials (CRE) series. Best Practices makes the connection between theory and practice – and the workshop this year will have an emphasis on best practices for transportation projects. Participants will learn about: “what’s new” at the PA State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO); how Project PATH (Project for PA Transportation & Heritage) facilitates consultation between the PA SHPO and PENNDOT; the PA SHPO’s Long Range Planning Partnership with regional planning organizations; and how historic contexts help with project planning and predictability. Best Practices will be offered on July 16, 2012 at The Heritage Partnership Conference in Lancaster.
AICP Planners: CM Credit Information
You may earn AICP CM credits for the 2012 Statewide Conference on Heritage by using the self-report option. The session must meet CM criteria for approval. See details about CM criteria on the self-reporting information page at the AICP section of www.planning.org. AICP members may self-report up to 8 CM credits per two-year reporting period. 1 CM credit equals 1 contact hour of instruction. AICP members must log self-report credits themselves at their AICP credit page. While the credits will automatically be added to a member's log, CM staff may contact you to provided further documentation.
The Cultural Resources Essentials (CRE) four-part series was launched in 2008. CRE evolved and has been refined as participant feedback over the past four years was incorporated into the structure and content of each workshop. Over 375 individuals have participated in CRE workshops to date. CRE 2011 will continue to bring together all those who have a stake in cultural resource management and provide an overview of Bureau for Historic Preservation's programs. The 2011 series focused on how historic preservation and planning are intrinsically integrated.
The Bureau for Historic Preservation in recent years has devoted a tremendous amount of energy and resources into linking historic preservation strategies with sound land use planning. Traditional applications of preservation programs do not always result in a positive preservation outcome. Irreplaceable local landmarks are lost daily across Pennsylvania. Historic preservation strategies coupled with sound municipal planning can help ensure that those places which define our communities — survive to be a part of our future. The intent of CRE 2011 was to demonstrate how preservation programs and strategies incorporated into a planning process can help advocates and municipal leaders achieve larger community goals.
Planning, as a profession, has an obligation to be visionary – yes, even when planning for historic resources! Preservationists, working alongside planners, can produce a practical and useful approach toward realizing the future of our communities. The Basics and Applications are the first two workshops in the CRE series. Those two workshops were offered as a pre-conference workshop at the 2011 The Statewide Conference on Heritage to provide the foundation for understanding how preservation and planning interests intersect. The final two workshops in the four-part series include Best Practices and Forum. The BHP staff are planning to offer Best Practices at The Statewide Conference on Heritage in July 2012.
