<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>HPLO Publishes Special
Report to Revitalize Historic Districts<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Historic Preservation League of Oregon is pleased to
announce the publication of their Special Report on “Healthy Historic
Districts – Solutions to Help Preserve and Revitalize Oregon’s
Historic Downtowns.” The report is the outcome of the 2010
Preservation Roundtable which sought to identify solutions to those issues that
keep historic commercial districts from thriving, such as ad hoc or
incompatible development, vacant buildings and empty lots, insufficient
financial stimulus, and confusing or inconsistent regulations. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Nearly 100 participants representing diverse perspectives -
including preservationists, architects, city planners, government agencies,
environmentalists, property owners, and developers identified dozens of ideas
that were distilled into nine key recommendations ranging from comprehensive
district plans and design standards to tax incentives. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You can find a pdf of the report on the HPLO website (<a
href="http://www.HistoricPreservationLeague.org">www.HistoricPreservationLeague.org</a>)
or HPLO members may request a printed copy free of charge by calling 503
243-1923. <o:p></o:p></p>
