Public meetings to be held statewide beginning April 25
TALLAHASSEE – Secretary of State Kurt S. Browning and the Florida Department of State’s Division of Historical Resources today announced a series of meetings that will help gather public input on Florida’s Statewide Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan. Once completed, the preservation plan will provide statewide direction on how to best preserve Florida’s archaeological and historical resources.
Public meetings on the plan will be held throughout the state beginning Monday, April 25, to help ensure full public participation in all phases of the preservation planning process. Individuals who would like to participate in the planning process but are unable to attend the public meetings are encouraged to provide their comments and opinions by completing a related online questionnaire on historic preservation issues in Florida at www.surveymonkey.com/s/HistoricPreservationCompPlan2011-2015.
